ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Lux Lounge and Radio Social are among the latest in a slew of Rochester-based businesses and organizations to update COVID-19 guidance Monday, after the Centers for Disease Control listed Monroe County as a “substantial” COVID-19 transmission zone.

Radio Social announced a similar measure on Facebook Tuesday saying in part:

“We will be requiring all guests over the age of 18 to show proof that they are fully vaccinated. This requirement also applies to private event and gaming league guests. our team and any outside vendors or event performers will be required to be fully vaccinated as well. We will asks all guests to provide a government issued ID as well as a physical COVID-19 vaccine card, your CLEAR Health Pass, your New York State Excelsior Pass, your relevant state provided vaccine pass, or a photo of your vaccination card.”

Radio Social’s policy goes into effect September 8, 2021.
