Governor Andrew Cuomo announced in a conference call on Friday that bowling alleys can open starting on Monday, with limits to capacity and other restrictions.
In the call, Cuomo said bowling alleys would be restricted to 50% capacity. Masks must be worn, and every other lane would need to be closed. Bowlers must stay at the lane of their group.
In addition, alleys will be allowed to serve food and alcohol, but staff must deliver orders to bowlers at their lanes.
The bowling announcement was one of two major updates Cuomo gave in his Friday call. He also indicated an announcement on gym reopening protocol would follow on Monday.
Bowling Alleys should watch NY Forward website for the expected posting of Guidelines. They will then need to complete a safety plan using the template and affirm acceptance of the guidelines.
