Gov. Andrew Cuomo

The Western New York region is expected to enter Phase Two of reopening Tuesday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Monday during his daily briefing.

“We expect that to happen,” Cuomo said. “We have the data that we’ve been tabulating during Phase One in Western New York. All the data looks very good; we’re going to have all the global experts go through it today. I want to make sure we’re not missing anything.”

Five regions in the state entered the second phase of reopening Friday.

Phase Two businesses permitted to reopen under strict guidelines include offices, real estate, in-store retail, vehicle sales and rentals, commercial building management and hair salons and barbershops.

For hair salons and barbershops, locations will be required to limit workforce and customers by 50% maximum occupancy; ensure 6-foot distancing rules; waiting rooms must be closed and lines “should be avoided” to ensure social distancing is maintained; establish designated areas for pick-ups and deliveries; employees must be provided face coverings at no cost; customers must wear face coverings to enter if over the age of 2 and medically able to do so; and employees must wear gloves or wash hands before and after contact.
