restrictions, and arts and entertainment venues will be allowed to increase
their capacity starting today.
Zoos, museums, aquariums and
botanical gardens are now allowed to operate at 50% capacity.
People visiting are still required
to book a reservation and follow safety protocols.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the
relaxed restrictions are a result of the state’s declining coronavirus cases as
people are getting vaccinated.

positivity rate is the lowest it’s been since November.
Cinemas will also be expanding
to 33% capacity.
Arenas
and event venues that host concerts and sporting events will increase their
capacity next month.
