ALBANY, N.Y. — Closing times for restaurants and bars will be extended from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. statewide, beginning this Sunday.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Friday announced the extended time “given the continued decline in hospitalization and infection rates throughout New York,” per a Friday news release.

“Our decisions are based on science and data and we adjust as the virus adjusts. The infection rate and hospitalizations have continued to significantly decline,” Cuomo said. “Accordingly, we have adjusted with arena and catering hall openings with rigorous testing and limited capacity indoor dining openings in New York City. We will also move the restaurant and bar closing hour from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. statewide on Sunday.”
