LATEST UPDATES AS THEY PERTAIN TO CHURCHES IN UPSTATE NEW YORK

From the office of the Governor  as of 3/25/2021

Mandatory Recommended Best Practices Physical Distancing For any religious or funeral service, limit the congregant/attendee capacity to no more than 50% of the maximum occupancy for a particular area as set by the certificate of occupancy for services occurring indoors. A distance of at least 6 ft. must be maintained amongst all individuals at all times, unless safety or the core activity requires a shorter distance (e.g. pallbearing) or the individuals are members of the same household. However, any singing activity must provide for a distance between individuals of 12 ft., subject to additional protective measures. Any time employees, volunteers, and/or attendees must come within 6 ft. of one another (or 12 ft., if singing), they must wear acceptable face coverings, unless they are members of the same household. Prohibit the use of small spaces (e.g. elevators, vehicles) by more than one individual at time, unless all individuals are wearing face coverings. If occupied by more than one person, keep occupancy under 50% of maximum capacity. Prohibit holding or shaking hands of members in different households during services or prayers. Limit activities involving singing (e.g. choir, soloist, cantor, musical ensemble), unless 12 ft. of separation can be provided between individuals or additional distancing or physical barriers can reduce transmission of respiratory droplets. Establish designated areas for pickups and deliveries.
