COVID NY update: New York restaurants outside New York may increase to 75% capacity on March 19

COVID NY update: New York restaurants outside New York may increase to 75% capacity on March 19

March 7, 2021 11:46 by NewsDesk
NEW YORK (WABC) – Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that New York restaurants outside New York will be allowed to increase capacity to 75% on March 19 – the same day that Connecticut lifted many of its restrictions.

“Remember, you have a lot of employees in restaurants, there are a lot of jobs, there are a lot of suppliers, so we will go to 75%,” said Cuomo. “We also think that 75% is what the consumer is ready for.”

The move is a 50% increase in the current capacity for indoor dining outside of New York City.

Cuomo did not suggest increasing capacity by 35% in New York.

Cuomo announced the change by revealing that he is signing the New York Legislature’s emergency powers bill, passed on Friday.

He cannot now issue new state directives without legislative consent, although he can still issue executive orders.

Existing orders will remain in effect, such as masking requirements, and Cuomo can modify existing restrictions, such as limits on public meetings and capacity.
