NEW YORK (AP) — Gov. Andrew Cuomo says New York City restaurants can resume indoor dining on Sept. 30 at a quarter of capacity with other restrictions. Cuomo said Wednesday that all customers must undergo temperature checks at the door and that one member of each party must provide information for contact tracing if needed. There will be no bar service, and restaurants must close at midnight. Tables must be 6 feet apart, and customers must wear masks while not at the table. Indoor dining is already allowed elsewhere in New York state. Cuomo says that infection rates remain steady, more restrictions could be lifted on indoor dining on Nov. 1.
