Governor loosens closing time restrictions for NY eateries
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has further loosened coronavirus restrictions on New York restaurants as part of his efforts to re-open the state’s economy.
The Democratic governor said on Friday that restaurants and bars will now be able to stay open until 11 p.m. starting Sunday. The previous cutoff was 10 p.m.
The announcement comes after one earlier this week saying that restaurants could reopen indoor dining at 25% capacity starting Friday to go along with existing outdoor dining. Indoor dining had been prohibited since mid-December when COVID-19 cases started surging.
