UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
• Restrictions, service opening and closures in the U.S. vary by state and sometimes even
by county. There are no national policies in place that are the same across the continent. The
CDC (Centers for Disease Control) has announced that fully vaccinated people in the U.S. can
resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing, except where required by
federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business
and workplace guidance. Masks are still required for local mass transportation and flights.
• The U.S./Canadian border remains closed for all non-essential travel and has recently
been extended through 21 June 2021 partly due to the spike of COVID cases in Canada. This
regulation will be updated monthly. Essential cross-border workers such as health care
professionals, airline crews and truck drivers will still be permitted to cross.
• Airlines – International and domestic airlines are operating on reduced schedules though
additional flights have recently been added. Specific international flight to certain countries
are now available for fully vaccinated passengers only. All travellers are still required to wear
a face-covering with no vents and that fully covers their nose and mouth. Face coverings must
be worn during the entire flight and in the airport. Upon arrival, travellers must follow local
quarantine guidelines or vaccination requirements. Travellers from the following countries
are currently prohibited from entry to the United States with exceptions of U.S. citizens,
foreign national parents, siblings of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.
▪ China.
▪ Iran.
▪ European Schengen area (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia,
Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City)
• In most cases travellers must show proof of a negative COVID test taken within 72 hours
of their flight arrival.
• Most hotels are open with COVID restrictions in place with limited occupancy and safety
protocols based on CDC recommendations and local regulations. Procedures across hotel
brands have included the production of branded signage stating the new safety precautions
in place, promoting social distancing and are offering hand sanitizing stations positioned
throughout public areas. Many front-desk areas also have partitions in place to provide a
physical barrier between guests and staff and many hotels are requiring face masks for both

staff and guests in public areas. All the brands have increased the frequency in which they
clean high-touch areas in public spaces and enhanced cleaning and disinfecting of rooms.
Health and Safety protocols for each hotel chain can be found on their website.
• Most Tourist Attractions have reopened with reservation requirements and in some
cases limit capacity based on state and county regulations. G2 Travel is compiling a list for all
commonly used attractions, by city, that will be made available once completed
• Restaurants are open in most states for outdoor dining or pick-up/take-out only. Many
states now have indoor dining with reduced capacity and early curfew hours but some of
these restrictions are being lifted in various states. As COVID cases fluctuate restrictions will
be updated. In most areas seating is limited to 6 people per table with a maximum of 2
households. A minimum of 6 feet (2 meters) distance is required between tables and masks
must be worn when not seated in most states.
• In some States bars, dance clubs, entertainment venues, breweries and wineries remain
closed, with limited capacity or outdoor service only, however these restrictions are currently
being lifted based on CDC guidelines in many states.
• National Parks - The various National Parks are tightening their access rules for
commercial groups. Each access restriction varies by park and is subject to the jurisdiction of
the current Park Superintendent, therefore different for Yellowstone over Yosemite over
Grand Canyon and so on. Grand Canyon, in particular, had announced in the past that it will
limit its commercial permits to 84 coach companies that have actively run tours through the
summer of 2020 but has reconsidered and is now allowing additional coach companies and
tour operators to submit applications for approval. All tours will be quoted under the
assumption that access rules and permit costs remain as 2020, which was previously
communicated by the NPS. When in fact border are back open and operation stage nears, we
will advise of restriction in place more in detail and solve access on a case-by-case basis.
• Vaccinations – The U.S. has approved both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines which
require two doses. In addition, the Johnson and Johnson vaccine has also been approved
which requires a single dose. More than half of Americans received their first shot and
vaccinations are now available to children as young as 12. As of May 22, approximately 40%
of the US population has been fully vaccinated and approximately 60% have received their
first vaccination.
• California – With one of the nation’s highest vaccination rates and lowest case rates,
nearly all of California is open to welcome visitors, though this will pertain to domestic
travellers as the borders remain closed for international tourists. All restrictions except those
for conventions of more than 5,000 attendees are scheduled to lift state-wide on June 15.

California has issued a travel advisory that recommends caution and suggests self-
quarantines for unvaccinated visitors from out of state and Californians returning to the state,
but those steps are not mandatory. Public health officials have directed everyone in California
to continue to wear face coverings in congested indoor and outdoor situations.
• New York – As May 20, 62.7 percent of adult New Yorkers have completed at least one
vaccine dose and 53.5 percent of adult New Yorkers completing their vaccine series. Vaccines
are now available for all residents ages 12 years and older. May 19th marked a milestone in
the fight against COVID. New York adopted the CDC's updated guidance on masks and social
distancing and many business capacity restrictions have been lifted. This major reopening of
the state means fully vaccinated individuals no longer need to use a face covering in most
public places. The Broadway League announces that Broadway shows in New York City will
resume ticket sales this month for fall 2021 performances. Broadway shows can resume
performances at 100% capacity as of September. Restaurants also are now allowed to provide
indoor dining at 100% capacity.
