Plans for Reopening
New York State Reopening Plan
As part of the state’s New York Forward plan, businesses are required to fill out a Reopening Plan. The plan is a simple outline of how you will maintain physical distancing, provide protective equipment, and maintain cleanliness at your location, and other precautionary measures. The plan does not have to be filed with the state, but does have to be kept on premise.
