Here’s What You Need to Know as New York City Enters Phase Two Reopening

New York City takes another step forward in reopening on Monday, and with it, come a few simple pleasures that many in the city have longed for: restaurants, haircuts and in-store shopping.

Still, things won’t quite be back to normal, despite the fact that many New Yorkers have already started to bend the rules. Shoppers should be prepared to wear face masks and maintain at least 6 feet of distance from other people. Restaurants are allowed to offer only outdoor seating. And at barbershops, beard trims are still a no-no.

“It’s time to say to everyone getting ready for Phase Two: Get on our mark, get set, cause here we go on Monday,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said last week.

The second stage of New York’s reopening, when some 150,000 to 300,000 workers are expected to come back, will breathe a little more life into a city devastated by the coronavirus pandemic.

It’s the second of a four-step process that will ease restrictions gradually on business activity and people’s ability to move around and socialize in the state of New York. Progress depends on infection rates, hospital capacity and the state’s ability to test and trace people who may have contracted the virus. Regardless, each phase will last at least two weeks.
