NYC cleared to play ball, open zoos under reopen plan
New York City was cleared Friday to take the next step in its reopening next week, allowing movie and TV crews to film, zoos to welcome reduced crowds, and professional sports teams to play to empty seats.
But malls, museums and restaurant dining rooms will stay shuttered.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Friday that the city is set to begin a limited version of the fourth phase of the statewide reopening process starting Monday. But he warned that New York’s progress is fragile as COVID-19 cases surge elsewhere in the country.
