Dear Nightlife Community,
We’ve come too far to go back. Infections are rising in parts of Brooklyn and Queens, and we need your help to stop the spread.
Please remember to use face coverings in public, wash your hands, social distance, remain home if you’re sick and get tested whether you feel sick or not.
The neighborhoods where infections are rising have been divided into three zones: Red, Orange, and Yellow. Each zone is under a different level of increased restrictions from the State of New York involving in-class learning, business operations, public gatherings and more. Additional information is listed below.
To find out where the zones are, and to see what restrictions apply to each zone, please visit: nyc.gov/covidzone |
To assist restaurants and bars with promoting safe protocols among patrons, the Office of Nightlife has made the following materials available for download at www.nyc.gov/nightlife:
Our city is at a crucial moment in the fight against Covid-19 and we need everyone to join the fight.
Stay Safe,
Ariel Palitz
Senior Executive Director

Guidance for All New Yorkers
- All New Yorkers can take some simple steps to help prevent the spread of COVID-19:
- Stay home: Stay home, especially if you are sick unless you are leaving for essential medical care or other essential errands.
- Physical distancing: Stay at least 6 feet away from other people. Do not attend large gatherings, especially indoor gatherings. Remember to keep a safe distance between you and others even when wearing a face covering.
- Wear a face covering: Protect those around you. You can be contagious without having symptoms and spread the disease when you cough, sneeze or talk. When worn correctly (covering both your nose and mouth), face coverings can help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
- Practice healthy hand hygiene: Wash your hands often with soap and water or use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available; clean frequently touched surfaces regularly; avoid touching your face with unwashed hands; and cover coughs and sneezes with your arm, not your hands.
