NYC Cleared to Resume Indoor Dining Sept. 30

Indoor dining in New York City will be allowed to resume beginning Sept. 30, with a 25% occupancy limit. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednesday that all restaurants that choose to reopen will be subject to strict safety protocols.

Among these protocols will be temperature checks, contact information for tracing, face coverings when not seated and other measures. Bar service will not be permitted, and restaurants will close at midnight.

Guidelines will be reassessed based on the data by Nov. 1. If the coronavirus infection rate does not increase, restaurants may be permitted to go to 50% capacity at that time.

The state government will monitor any positivity increase on an ongoing basis and potentially reassess if necessary. “I want to thank New Yorkers for their hard work to increase compliance, and we can now take the next step in reopening our restaurants,” said Cuomo.
