COVID Live Updates: New York City indoor dining 2-week ban starts Monday

NEW YORK (WABC) -- New York City restaurants will serve their final indoor meals Sunday -- at least for the next two weeks.

The move announced late last week by Governor Andrew Cuomo is in response to a rise in new coronavirus cases across the city and state.

The city's COVID-19 positivity rate now stands at 6.26%.

Under the guidelines which temporarily end Sunday, indoor dining capacity is limited to 25% capacity.
