Decision for Resumption of Indoor Dining will be Made by End of September Says De Blasio

On Wednesday, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that the decision for resuming indoor dining would be made by the end of September, after hinting earlier this week that it may not return until there is a vaccine.

De Blasio said indoor dining is an issue because it led to an increase in coronavirus cases in other states across the country.

Meanwhile, on Monday, Governor Andrew Cuomo said his prime focus is on keeping the coronavirus infection rate under control and refused to discuss bringing back indoor dining.

Every region in New York, outside of the city, has already resumed indoor dining, including Nassau and Suffolk counties.
