There’s good news and bad news for mid-Hudson cinema buffs. The good news is that Governor Andrew Cuomo has partially lifted an executive order of movie theaters in counties where the Covid-19 infection rate remains below two percent, on a 14-day rolling average. Ulster and Dutchess both qualify at present (an outbreak reported Sunday at the Woodland Pond nursing home in New Paltz will temporarily skew the Ulster percentage upward). Under the new rules, theaters may operate at 25 percent capacity, with a maximum of 50 patrons in front of one screen.
The bad news is that, effectively, only megaplexes are going to be able to open in the near future/ That’s because operational restrictions were placed on cinemas in order to protect public health in close quarters.
