Know Before You Go

1. While there is no current statewide mask mandate in Vermont, best practices include having a mask with you just in case.

Businesses may still have stricter masking policies in place and can decline service to individuals not wearing a mask if they choose.
Businesses may require proof of vaccination. Please check their website.

2. Many Vermont testing sites offer free COVID-19 testing and test kits. You can find more information at the Vermont Department of Health.

To make the most of your time in Vermont, please check hours of operation, reservation requirements, and available services at restaurants, lodging properties, and stores before or during your visit.
