In this morning’s address, Governor Cuomo announced churches can have services starting immediately with up to 25 percent of their building capacity. Social distancing, face coverings and proper hygiene must be followed. All churches also have to have a completed business safety plan in place. Check www.forward.ny.gov for more details.
Now that we are halfway through Phase 2 we ask residents to continue social distancing, mask wearing, and proper hygiene. Even when you are outside, the virus can be spread.
We also ask residents to be respectful of the business owners and wear masks while you are in their establishment. If you are unable to wear a mask due to a medical condition, call the business and ask for curbside delivery.
We can all show people that we care and respect them by continuing these practices to keep everyone safe.
