NEW YORK STATE UPDATES:

The safety of our community is our highest priority and the team at Discover Schenectady encourages all to follow guidance issued by public health officials. We are continually monitoring the COVID-19 situation. Below are resources that will give citizens and visitors the latest information on the status of our tourism and hospitality community. News, updates and more resources will continue to be posted.

Effective February 10, 2022, New York State discontinued its mandate that businesses require masks or vaccines to enter. Individual businesses, however, may continue to require a mask or proof of vaccination upon entry. Please click here for the latest Travel Advisory before you plan your trip.
