Any establishment with a state liquor license, including bars and restaurants, along with gyms, must close at 10 p.m., Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced.

“NYS is taking action to stop the spread in response to rising COVID numbers,” Cuomo said in a tweet.

Covid-19 cases in New York have hit levels not seen since the spring, with the infection rate seven-day average in the city rising above 2 percent, and the statewide infection rate close to 3 percent.

Bars and restaurants are currently allowed to operate both indoors and outdoors under 25 percent capacity.
