New York Gov. Cuomo announced new coronavirus restrictions Wednesday – including a cap on the number of people allowed to gather in private homes and a curfew on bars, restaurants and gyms.
All businesses that have a state liquor license, and gyms must close by 10 p.m., the governor said.The rules go into effect Friday. “COVID is getting worse by the day,” Cuomo added in a string of tweets on the new restrictions. “All around the country.The fall surge is here.” In July, the governor implemented a “three strikes you’re closed” policy to shut down bars and restaurants that flouted restrictions during the height of New York City’s outbreak.
