NY allows indoor dining again in hot spots following lawsuit, but not in NYC
Restaurants in some COVID-19 hot spots in New York can once again offer limited indoor dining in the wake of the latest lawsuit against Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s virus restrictions, but at the same time, restaurants in Brooklyn and three other New York City boroughs are demanding, “What about us?”
Up to four people per table can now dine indoors in seven so-called “orange zones” located in counties with some of the state’s highest rates of COVID-19 cases or hospitalizations, including Monroe County in the Finger Lakes.
The decision came a day after some Erie County restaurants won a preliminary injunction for themselves against the state’s enforcement of the indoor dining ban in yellow zones.
