New York and New Jersey have already started allowing gatherings at big arenas, now, smaller venues will be allowed to open up, governors in both states outlined Wednesday.
The dark lights on Broadway could soon become bright again. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced rules for arenas with less than 10,000 people, places like Radio City Music Hall, Lincoln Center and comedy clubs across the city.
Beginning April 2, so-called events arts and entertainment venues can reopen at 33% capacity, with up to 100 people indoors and 200 outdoors.
With testing, those numbers can go up.
“You can go up to 150 people indoor with testing requirements for going from 100 to 150, and then for outdoor events up to 500 outdoors with testing,” New York State Budget Director Robert Mujica said.
People would still need to wear masks and practice social distancing.
Gov. Cuomo also announced domestic travelers would no longer be required to quarantine or test-out within 90 days of full vaccination. International travelers must continue to follow CDC quarantine guidance.
The governor also raised residential gathering limits from 10 people in any space to 25 people outdoors (the indoor limit remains). Social gathering limits can climb to 100 people indoors and 200 outdoors, up from the 50-person limit currently in place.
