Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday announced that movie-theater capacity across the state will increase to 33 percent starting next Monday, April 26, up from the current 25 percent. He also said museums, aquariums, zoos, and botanical gardens — which Cuomo dubbed low-risk, indoor and outdoor arts and entertainment — will increase to 50 percent capacity, also next Monday.

Then beginning May 19, spectator capacity will increase to 25 percent at large-scale arenas, and event venues, including professional and college sports, and major performances. The state will still require social distancing, masks, health screenings and all other health and safety protocols to remain in effect.
