• Community health and safety will remain our No. 1 priority. This served us well in 2020 and 2021, and it will continue to be our north star.
• We will not require proof of COVID-19 vaccination to enter Chautauqua’s grounds.
• Although Chautauqua Institution strongly recommends vaccinations for all who can acquire them (and in fact requires our staff and others who function similarly to employees be vaccinated with limited accommodations), Chautauqua Institution will not verify vaccination status or proof of a negative COVID-19 test to attend events at any of our venues unless required to by contract or collective bargaining agreement.
• Masks will likely be required for some indoor events or activities.
• By purchasing tickets to an event or gate passes, you agree to abide by the health and safety measures in effect at the time of the event, which could change and could include, but not be limited to, wearing masks, providing proof of vaccination status and/or providing proof of a negative COVID-19 test.
• The Institution is monitoring local COVID-19 trends and will follow protocols mandated by local and state governments this summer. Check back here for the most up to date information as guidelines are subject to change before and during our 2022 season. Also be sure to check information related to specific events and activities, as artists, speakers, instructors and collective bargaining agreements may require different protocols.
• Despite encouraging trends, we recognize that COVID-19 continues to circulate in our community. The Chautauqua Primary Care Clinic, our on-grounds clinic operated by Westfield Memorial Hospital/Allegheny Health Network, will be open this summer. The clinic will operate at least four days a week, hopefully five. Clinic staff will be able to test for COVID-19 onsite, with lab results usually available within 24 hours. They are also working to make access to anti-viral drugs as simple as possible for severe cases.

We look forward to welcoming you to Chautauqua in 2022!
