ALBANY – In the continuing effort to maintain social distance, Governor Cuomo has ordered barbershops, hair salons, tattoo or piercing parlors, nail salons, hair removal services and related personal care services closed to the public effective Saturday, March 21 at 8 p.m.
The directive was also issued by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont and Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf.
Previously, the four governors announced indoor portions of retail shopping malls, as well as amusement parks and bowling alleys in the four states were to close at 8 p.m. Thursday.
“We know how the novel coronavirus spreads, and we are making data-driven decisions as the situation evolves to continue to reduce density and slow the spread of the virus,” said Cuomo. “These temporary measures are not going to be easy, but they are necessary to protecting the health and safety of New Yorkers and all Americans.
