New York State Allows Gyms And Museums To Re-Open Amid COVID-19 Pandemic

ISLIP, NEW YORK - AUGUST 24: Fitness instructor John Santiago cleans surface of the front desk at Gold's Gym Islip on August 24, 2020 in Islip, New York. The gym shuts down from 1-2pm in order to clean and sanitize all the equipment and surfaces. Gyms, which have been closed in New York since mid-March to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, were allowed to open today by order of Governor Andrew Cuomo. Gyms will be limited to a third of their capacity, and they need to maintain a sign-in sheet to help contact tracers in case of a virus outbreak. Air filters must be able to help prevent the transmission of viral particles. People must wear masks at all times. (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)
