New York music venues can open at 33% capacity from April.
Now, in a new press conference yesterday (March 3rd), Cuomo has said that entertainment and music venues will be able to open from April at 33% capacity, with an additional cap of 100 people for indoor venues and 200 people for open-air events. If venues are able to offer COVID-19 tests prior to events, the capacity numbers can be increased to 150 and 500 respectively, but masks and social distancing will remain mandatory.
Prior to the official announcement, a number of small, independent venues raised concerns about the limited capacities, with owner of 230-person-capacity venue The Bitter End, Paul Rizzo, telling Rolling Stone that No matter what capacity they let us go with, in clubs our size, social distancing will dictate capacity.
