Responding to the ever-increasing number of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in the Rochester area, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday that parts of Rochester, Brighton, Gates, Greece, Irondequoit and Pittsford are now designated orange. The state’s orange designation generally means that schools must end inperson classes for now, indoor dining and bar service is banned, high-risk
businesses such as gyms and nail salons must close and worship services are limited to 33% capacity, with a maximum of 25 people.
Mass gatherings are limited to 10 people either indoors or outdoors.
Restaurants in the orange zone are not allowed indoor dining but can offer outdoor dining, with a four-person maximum per table.
