Each company seeking to re-open must file a detailed plan for a safe re-opening.
For additional details on the Phase 1 operations, I strongly urge you to review the Governor’s re-opening plan for details. Additional details are also outlined here.Re-opening will be gradual, with an anticipated two-week evaluation between each stage.
The Region’s Regional Control Room will monitor the opening from our regional perspective, and the Regional Control board includes, among others, County Executive George Latimer, #YonkersMayor Mike Spano, and President of the Westchester-Putnam AFL-CIO #TomCarey.
Each business and industry must have a plan to protect employees and consumers, make the physical work space safer and implement processes that lower the risk of infection in the business.
