NYC restaurants unlikely to open before summer, new guidance suggests (Via EaterNY)
— pandemic-battered New York City won’t reopen its restaurant economy before the summer at the earliest, new statements and data from local officials suggest.this morning that a ban on non-essential businesses and large gatherings would not end before June. Governor Andrew Cuomo didn’t specifically mention the city during his own press conference, though he displayed a slide showing that the metropolitan area was faring the worst of any region in terms of reopening criteria.
The reopenings in those regions will start with so-called “phase 1” businesses, such as construction. White House and Centers for Disease Controlsomewhat aggressively put socially-distanced sit-down dining in phase 1, but in New York, that higher risk category of hospitality is considered phase 3. When asked how long regions would have to wait in between phases, Cuomo said that the process would be “calibrated locally,” and that it would be determined “by the facts and the numbers,” particularly the hospitalization and infection rates.
