State officials announced this week that after nearly a year of being shutdown, arts and entertainment venues in New York City can begin reopening at 33% capacity on April 2nd, with an indoor max of 100-150 attendees. Capacity for indoor events will be limited to 100 people no matter the venue size, unless that venue can administer COVID-19 tests to all attendees, in which case the limit is increased to 150 people.
If tests are administered for an outdoor venue, that number will rise from 200 to 500 attendees.
The announcement was a surprise to some in the arts sector, many of whom have spent months lobbying the state to loosen restrictions for their industry, as it had been for restaurants and other establishments.
The attorney general’s investigation into Gov. Andrew Cuomo will give her far-ranging subpoena powers to request documents and call witnesses, including the governor himself.
