Governor Cuomo has emphasized that all businesses should begin working on their reopening plans immediately. In order to reopen, they must also meet the following criteria:

  • Strict cleaning and sanitation standards must be met.
  • Social-distancing protocols must be in place and workplace hours and shifts must be designed so as to reduce the density of people working at the business.
  • Mandatory face masks for all employees and customers in situations where there is frequent person-to-person contact.
  • Coronavirus cases must be traced, tracked, and reported to regional public-health officials.
  • Nonessential travel must be restricted for employees.
  • Liability processes must be in place (but it’s not clear what this will actually entail yet).
