Summer day camps statewide can open on June 29th. The state will make a decision on sleep-away camps in the coming weeks.

Additional low-risk outdoor recreational activities can resume in some parts of the state. I issued an Executive Order allowing low-risk, outdoor recreational activities and businesses providing such activities to open in regions that have met the public health and safety metrics required for Phase 1. These include tennis, non-motorized boat use and rentals (such as kayaks and rowboats), and golf and driving ranges.

Phase 2 Business Reopening Guidelines
P
Phase 2 allows professional services to resume in-person operations, as well as finance and insurance, administrative support services, real estate transactions and retail.
P
The guidelines apply to non-essential businesses in regions that are permitted to reopen, essential businesses throughout the state that were previously permitted to remain open, and commercial and recreational activities that have been permitted to operate statewide with restrictions. If guidance has not yet been published for your specific industry, but you are permitted to reopen, please refer to the .NY Forward Safety Plan template
