As a result of the continued decline in hospitalization and infection rates throughout the state, closing times have been extended for bars, restaurants, gyms and fitness centers, casinos, billiards halls, and other State Liquor Authority-licensed establishments, from 10 to 11 p.m.
"Hospitalizations and the positivity rate continue to decline, and with the holiday surge now in our rear-view mirror, we must keep taking steps to further re-open the economy safely and responsibly," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. "Accordingly, I have already signed an Executive Order to move the closing times for restaurants and bars to 11 p.m. statewide, and now we will do the same for gyms and fitness centers, casinos, billiards halls and any other location with an SLA license. As we move forward, we will continue to follow the science and data and take these kinds of steps to help us finally return to normal."
The announcement was made Friday, Feb. 12.
