In a major boost to the stricken US exhibition community, cinemas in New York City will be able to reopen for the first time in nearly a year on March 5, New York state governor Andrew Cuomo said.
Cuomo announced the news at his daily briefing on Monday (February 22) and said sites could reopen at 25% capacity with a cap of 50 people in each screen.
Familiar social distancing and hygiene protocols will be in place, however testing will not be mandatory.
