Businesses in Elmira and elsewhere affected by state-mandated COVID-19 restrictions received good news when Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday announced he is lifting all orange and yellow zone designations statewide.
Cuomo in October imposed the restrictions on specific areas due to skyrocketing positive cases of the coronavirus.
Parts of Chemung County including the City of Elmira, Village of Elmira Heights and Village and Town of Horseheads were included in an orange zone, meaning restaurants were limited to takeout and delivery only and other businesses considered nonessential, including gyms, nail salons and barber shops, had to close.
Gyms and fitness centers were eventually allowed to reopen with limited capacity, and personal care businesses could reopen as long as employees providing services were tested weekly for COVID-19.

WAVERLY â The biggest takeaways from last weekâs Waverly School Board meeting were that there are still many questions regarding what the next budget will look like, that COVID-19 testing is going well and that the IAC has a plan for going forward.
The district has contracts for teachers and the superintendent, but not for support staff, administrators or those workers who are unrepresented. That and unknown changes in factors such as health insurance, along with an uncertain contribution from the state, leave things up in the air for the next budget.
On the testing front, in-house tests are coming back at just under 1 percent but that isnât the whole story. There are also tests being done outside the school system. Even of those break positive, though, the district is still doing well.
