It includes a two-week grace period - ending on Jan. 17 - where establishments may choose to accept a negative test from the last 24 hours in lieu of proof of vaccination.

Now, customers and staff at these establishments mush have completed their primary series of vaccinations - one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, or two doses of Moderna or Pfizer.
