During the coronavirus pandemic in New York, social distance rules apply. They relate to both the behavior of people and the work of enterprises. About how not to violate these rules and where to complain if others do not comply, reported https://www.izakayasushilounge.com City Hall.
In the context of the coronavirus pandemic in New York, clear rules are in place to significantly reduce the spread of COVID-19. Among them are the requirements to wear protective medical masks and maintain social distance in public places.
If you witness a violation of these rules, the city encourages you to report this to special services.

While the state is quarantined, some enterprises and institutions are closed (for example, schools and children's camps), while others continue to serve customers (hospitals, cafes, and the transportation system), taking the necessary precautions.
Here is a list of places that can work in compliance with the rules of social distance:
- bars, restaurants or venues;
- hairdressing salons, beauty salons;
- office buildings;
- public places;
- parks, playgrounds;
- streets and sidewalks;
- supermarkets, grocery stores.
In the above places, according to the rules of social distance, it is forbidden:
- violate a distance of 1,8 meters (6 feet) from other people who are not members of your family;
- engage in team sports;
- gather in groups of more than 10 people.
Also, the city carefully monitors the observance of order in the parks. Especially in places where walking space is limited and there are many visitors, which makes it difficult for them to comply with social distancing rules. Therefore, precautions have been tightened in some places: for example, the capacity at Hudson River Park Piers 45 and 46 is limited, and the police presence in Domino Park has been increased.
As a reminder, from May 22, all over the state, gatherings in groups of no more than 10 people are allowed. Including - religious meetings and visits to car cinemas.

If you notice how someone violates the rules of social distance or does not wear a protective mask while walking in the park, using public transport or shopping, you can complain about it by filling out the forms at these links:
If you are faced with a situation that threatens you or others, call 911. By this phone number you can tell if you see someone using or selling illegal drugs on the street, if a group of people (including protesters ) makes you feel anxious, as well as in any emergency situations that pose a threat to your life or property.
Recall that from May 15, the state New York began to loosen quarantine restrictions. This was allowed to the regions that fulfilled the seven criteria stipulated by the plan of Governor Andrew Cuomo. But the city of New York was among the lagging regions.
