As you enter the New York State Forum for in-person events there will be some changes.

Park in the front or back.  Enter through street facing entranceway only.  The parking lot entrance is for exits only. 

• All attendees must be wearing face coverings at all times while inside the buildings.  Upon entering you will be instructed to wait in line behind yellow lines marked 6 feet apart on the floor as we screen each attendee with the following questions:
1. Have you experienced a fever of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or greater, a new cough, new loss of taste or smell, or shortness of breath within the past 10 days? 
2. In the past 10 days, have you tested positive for COVID-19 using a test that tested saliva or used a nose or throat swab (not a blood test)? (10 days measured from the date you were tested, not the date you received the test result.)
3. To the best of your knowledge, in the past 14 days, have you been in close contact (within 6 feet for at least 10 minutes) with anyone while they had COVID-19?
4. In the past 14 days, have you traveled internationally or returned from a state identified by New York State as having widespread community transmission of COVID-19 (other than just passing through the restricted state for less than 24 hours)?

If you answered yes to any of these questions you will not be permitted to enter and be instructed to leave.
