Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the state’s casino reopening plan yesterday. The casinos will be required to cap their capacity at 25 per cent, while those who enter the facilities will be required to wear masks.

The decision applies to the state’s four private casinos - Resorts World Catskills in Sullivan County, del Lago in Seneca County, Rivers Casino in Schenectady and Tioga Downs in Tioga County.
