The Newburgh New Windsor Yellow Zone was announced just before Thanksgiving. The stipulations being lifted means there are now fewer restrictions for mass and home gatherings, houses of worship and dining, where only four could sit at a table.

A Yellow Zone is considered a precautionary zone under Cuomo's cluster action initiative. The following restrictions are put in place in a Yellow Zone:

  • Houses of Worship: 50 percent capacity
  • Mass Gatherings: 25 people maximum, indoor and outdoor
  • Residental Gatherings: 10 people maximum, indoor and outdoor
  • Businesses: Open
  • Dining: Indoor and outdoor dining, 4 person maximum per table
  • Schools: Open: Surveillance testing required
