Syracuse, N.Y. -- New York’s marinas, boatyards and boat repair shops can once again open for recreation and business, according to the state’s economic development agency.

That’s a reversal just days after the state had closed marinas and boat launches to the public, a move meant to keep the coronavirus from spreading.

But on Saturday the state posted this:

“Marinas, boatyards, and recreational marine manufacturers, for ongoing marina operations and boat repair/maintenance, where such facilities adhere to strict social distancing and sanitization protocols. Use of such sites for the purposes of personal use or operation of boats or other watercraft is permissible, provided that no establishment offer chartered watercraft services or rentals. Restaurant activity at such sites are limited to take-out or delivery only.”

The decision was made in concert with boating policies in Connecticut and New Jersey, according to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office. The goal, Cuomo said in a statement, is to implement a regional approach to stemming the spread of the virus.

Earlier Saturday, the state also loosened restrictions at public and private golf clubs. Now people can use the courses. The only staff allowed is security and no carts are allowed.
