Reopening and COVID-19 Updates

Proof of Vaccination No Longer Required for Members & Program Participants

• Mayor Adams announced that, effective March 7^th, proof of vaccination will no longer be required for members, program participants and visitors to enter the YMCA.

Masks Recommended for All in YMCA Branches

• The YMCA strongly encourages all members and programs participants to continue to wear a mask while at the Y, regardless of vaccination status.

As a reminder:

• If you are not yet vaccinated or have not yet received your booster shot, we encourage you to do so. You can find all of New York City’s free vaccination clinics here.
   

• If you’re not feeling well, please help protect your neighbors and don’t enter the Y. If you’d like to get a free COVID test, you can do so at one of New York City’s COVID testing sites. 

If you have any questions about NYC’s guidelines or the YMCA’s protocols, please contact your branch’s Membership Director.
