Reopening
Today Governor Cuomo announced that five regions are eligible to move on to Phase 3 of the New York Forward reopening process tomorrow:
- North County
- Finger Lakes
- Central NY
- Mohawk Valley
- Southern Tier
These regions moving on to Phase 3 will now be eligible for restaurants/food service in both indoor and outdoor settings while still adhering to the appropriate industry guidance. In addition to this, businesses that fall within the “Personal Care” industry such as nail salons and massage parlors will also be able to open while following the appropriate industry guidance.
Public Pools and Playgrounds
Governor Cuomo also announced that the state is allowing localities to open public pools and playgrounds beginning today at their discretion, but stressed that they must follow the proper State guidance in doing so.
New York State COVID-19 Numbers
Although, we are on the far side of the COVID-19 plateau and moving well into the reopening process here in New York State there were still 36 COVID-19 related deaths since yesterday.
