Governor issues COVID compliance warning to Hamptons and Manhattan


Noncompliance with social distancing, face covering rules in two locales is responsible for majority of 25,000 complaints to state, Cuomo says, threatening to 'reverse' recent easing of restrictions there

By Denise Civiletti - Jun 14, 2020, 3:23 pm

The Hamptons and Manhattan have been put on notice by Gov. Andrew Cuomo that without better adherence to social distancing and face covering rules, they may see the recent reopening of businesses reversed.

The state has had 25,000 complaints about businesses — predominantly bars and restaurants, Cuomo said — failing to follow social distancing and face covering rules. Manhattan and the Hamptons are leading the state in violation reports, the governor said during a press conference today.

“They are rampant and there’s not enough enforcement,” Cuomo said. “I’m not going to allow situations to exist that we know have a high likelihood of causing an increase in the spread of the virus,” he said.

Once a surge comes, the governor said, “it’s too late. Now you’re back up in a spike situation and it’s going to take you weeks to bring it down.”



Cuomo also warned businesses that hold liquor licenses that they are at risk of losing those licenses if they are found in violation of the social distancing and face covering rules.

New York overall is seeing the lowest numbers of new infections, new hospitalizations and deaths than it has seen since the coronavirus crisis hit the downstate region with a vengeance in March.

New York has the second-lowest rate of transmission in the country, according to calculations of the effective rates of transmissions in each state published by the data science company Systrom. New York State’s Rt is currently .80, according to Systrom’s algorithm-based modeling. The governor has said that an Rt above 1.0, which means that one person is transmitting the virus to more than one other person, indicates the virus is out of control. State officials have been watching the Rt calculations closely, Cuomo said.

“We got here because people are doing the right thing,” Cuomo said. “If we stop doing the right thing, we’ll see a very different trajectory. Look at other states and it’s not hard to see what’s happening there,” he said. Cuomo pointed to other states experiencing virus surges after relaxing social distancing rules.

“We’re not going to go back to that place because local government didn’t do its job or because businesses didn’t do the right thing,” Cuomo said.

The governor also chastised local law enforcement officers who don’t wear face coverings when in public, as mandated by an executive order.

“It’s your job to enforce the law. Why don’t you follow the law? How can you enforce he law if you’re not following the law? It’s a very bad signal,” Cuomo said.

The governor said local governments are responsible for compliance with the reopening plan. “I understand it’s unpopular. You have to do your job,” Cuomo said.

“I am warning today in a nice way. I’m going to reverse it in those areas that are not in compliance with the rules,” the governor said.

Southampton Town Supervisor Jay Schneiderman said he is not sure what the governor is talking about.


“I’m not aware of those issues,” Schneiderman said in a phone interview this afternoon.

“The Hamptons are many areas,” he said. There are lots of villages. Some people even refer to the whole East End as the Hamptons,” he said.

“The places I have observed are all following the rules,” Schneiderman said.

“Nobody’s reached out to me to say we’re having an enforcement issue,” Schneiderman said, adding, “the governor’s people have my cell phone.”

County Executive Steve Bellone also said today he had not heard of any ongoing issues involving bars and restaurants not complying with the law. He said he thought it possible that some people were making complaints without realizing that bars and restaurants in Suffolk are allowed to have outdoor dining.

Suffolk County Chief of Police Stuart Cameron said Suffolk Police have been in close contact with the East End police departments — the East End towns and villages are not within the county police district.

Cameron said police have found that as new businesses are allowed to open, “a lot of times it’s a question of educating them” about new rules.

Bellone said he is “not concerned at all” about a reversal of the reopening in Suffolk.

“I’m very confident that what we’ve been doing we will continue to do and we will move into Phase Three, where we will in fact have indoor dining at a limited capacity,” Bellone said.

If all goes well with Phase Two, the Long Island region can move into Phase Three as soon as June 24, which marks the two-week minimum set by the “New York Forward” reopening plan.

Law?!? Wtf! An executive order is not law. Does he even know the difference?? And I find it very suspicious that he received 25k complaints, really...25k?!? How can he have received that many complaints and not the local authorities?? Chat Icon. Also he has to stop comparing NY with the rates in other states. No other state has had as many cases as we’ve had during all these long months.

Governor issues compliance warning for Hamptons and Manhattan

So, he would shut down Manhattan but allow the other four boroughs continue to reopen? Shut down the Hamptons but not the rest of the island? I can see that really working well. IMO, he lost all credibility when thousands have been spilling onto the streets for almost three weeks. Before someone bites my head off, I am a firm believer in their right to peaceful protest, and I support their cause.
But, what did you expect to happen when people see that?

I actually believe the 25k complaints because everyone is the mask police lately. I made a post on FB yesterday regarding my weekend away. One of the pictures, someone actually zoomed in to chastise saying she sees a chin mask wearer.

Right? I mean that was the very last picture in the whole set of gorgeous pictures that I had shared. And that's the only one she felt the need to say anything about. And she actually zoomed in to see someone in the background with the mask that way. People are ridiculous

Well ppl feel entitle for some reason to judge and blame them if we continue in quarantine or if numbers go up again while smoking cigarettes/vaping and eating all sorts of junk food. If u’re not taking care of ur own health, then mind ur own business ppl!

Re: Governor issues compliance warning for Hamptons and Manhattan

I HATE wearring a mask in stores. I do it because I have to. I have seen a few people in stores without one, and I am not a mask police, but I feel if I have to wear one, than why are you so entitles to walk in without one. Does that make sense?

No, I agree. I can't stand it either and while i have not yet seen anyone in a store without one yet I would probably feel the same. But I'd never say anything because that will get you nowhere but in a fight.

I agree you should follow the rules and I do hate them as well. But I’m not the mask police nor do I want to. I really don’t feel like getting into an argument or fight over a freaking mask. You don’t know how effed up that person can be in the head. Is it even worth it, KWIM?

Also what sense does it do trolling people posts and pics in the background, pointing out mask offenders? That just seems crazy to me. Lol.

Governor issues compliance warning for Hamptons and Manhattan

There were multiple pictures of packed bars all across the City this weekend. There was no social distancing or masks at all. People were twittering (is that what you say? I'm old lol) the pictures to the Governor. I'm sure he had well over 25K in complaints for the city alone. I did not hear or see anything about the Hamptons.

I didn't know they were actually in bars.

They changed the rule to allow bars w/ outdoor seating to open with the same rules as restaurants. When this all started they allowed bars to serve to- go alchohl, but I think there is still the no open containter law.

So you can either take the booze home, or drink it at designated tables. I know here in weschester, so restaurants are allowd to put tables in the streets, an dthat doesn't violate open cotnainer laws, so I can see how in the city, wher eit is crowded, the lines get blurry, but you can't just walk around with booze. The picture si swa loked like the crowds you get at a street fair & those were cancelled!


In my area, most people seemed to be following the rules, but some of the tables seem a little close for me, b/c they are working with limited space on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant, but I didn't take my measuring tape out or anything.

Thank you!

Sorry, not inside the bars, outside on the streets, but the bars/restaurants have a responsibility and if they see groups forming (which they were huge groups) they should have stopped serving.

they are not the same. stop being ignorant and conflating the two. protesting police brutality is way more important than to go margaritas and is also a constitutional right.

During a pandemic, lots of rights go out the window for the health & safety of everyone. I am in support of protesting, and am fine with them doing so, even in the middle of a pandemic. But you can't tell everyone else they have rules to follow but if you are protesting, rules don't apply to you. I can't speak for everyone, but I believe it is more about the livelihoods of those who own these businesses, then the people who were partying in the streets. After three months, people are desperate. They need to pay their bills and hope their business survives.

I am literally not having this conversation again. My point was in reference to her conflation. Stop conflating that protesting is OK and XYZ is not. Black people are being shot and killed every day and still your white self had to come on here and be like "during a pandemic..."

I am not protesting for cocktails or outdoor dining. That is not my concern.
