New York State will allow non-essential businesses to re-open on a regional and industry-specific basis, as each region meets the criteria necessary to protect public health.
The State’s plan focuses on getting New Yorkers back to work—without triggering renewed spread of the COVID-19 virus or overwhelming local hospital systems.
Business Reopening Lookup Tool-The NY Forward Business Reopening Lookup tool will help determine whether your business is able to reopen and the public health and safety standards with which your business must comply.
