On Tuesday, after 472 days, New York hit a vaccination milestone—70 percent of adult New Yorkers have received at least one dose of the COVID vaccine.
After reaching this goal, the state lifted most of the remaining COVID restrictions.
This means no more restrictions across commercial settings, including retail, food services, offices, gyms, entertainment, hair salons, barber shops, etc.—as well as no more social gathering limits.
Existing COVID health protocols are still in place for some settings such as public transportation, health facilities, and indoor Pre-K-12 schools.
