Based on the continuous positive trends in COVID-19 metrics in New York City, accredited media representatives can now access the United Nations Headquarters (UNHQ) in New York. Accredited media representatives must be fully vaccinated to access UNHQ and carry proof of vaccination with them, noting that they may be requested to make it available to UN personnel.
