NY State Racetracks to Allow Spectators; Restaurant Curfews Pushed Back

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo on Wednesday said that spectators will be allowed at horse and auto races in New York State at 20% capacity, beginning Thursday, April 22. Spectators will be subject to the state’s strict guidance, currently in effect for other professional sports competitions with fans. 

Cuomo also said the curfew for food and beverage establishments will be moved from 11 p.m. to midnight effective Monday, April 19. The curfew for catered events will move from midnight to 1 a.m.

“We’re continuing to fight the pandemic each and every day, and the vaccine—the weapon that will win the war—is working,” said Cuomo. “As the situation becomes more manageable, we’re allowing spectators at auto and horse races back into stadiums to safely enjoy great events together.” 

Separately, Cuomo announced that nearly 40% of state residents have gotten at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
