Shops for personal care to close by 8 p.m. Saturday

Friday, March 20, 2020 - 18:01

Friday morning, Andrew Cuomo joined with governors of New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania in directing all shops that provide personal-care services to close by 8 p.m. on Saturday.

This followed Monday’s directive to limit gatherings to 50 people and the closure of theaters, gyms, casinos, and restaurants and bars — except for take-out service. All indoor parts of malls, amusement parks, and bowling alleys had to close by Thursday night.

All barber shops, hair salons, tattoo or piercing parlors, nail salons, and hair-removal services will be closed to the public as these services cannot be provided while maintaining social distance, said a release from Cuomo’s office.
