Overview
Our commitment to providing all of our guests a safe and enjoyable experience is more important to us now than ever before. The highly contagious Delta variant presents a significant risk to the health and safety of our community, where New York City’s test positivity rate has doubled in recent days. To address this risk, Kostume Kult & House of YES have adopted this covid safety policy that will be enforced by our Covid Compliance Team.
Zero Exceptions
All attendees, performers and venue staff must be FULLY vaccinated at the time of the event start or have provided proof of a PCR test, taken 72 hours or less prior to event start. For vaccination, this means at least 14 days have passed since receiving the 2nd shot (or the single dose J&J shot). Exceptions will not be made under any circumstances, including situations where there is ‘only’ 1 day left.
Verification at the Door
Guests are required to present proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test at the door to a member of our trained Covid Compliance Team.
