COVID-19 CDC & NY State Update

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that New York State will follow the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention guidelines for masking and physical distancing for people who have been vaccinated. Individuals that have not been vaccinated are still required to mask up when entering the facilities.

Beginning Wednesday, May 19th, 2021 if you have received your COVID-19 vaccine, you will no longer need your mask, or to continue to physical distance in most places across New York State. This new guidance will be in effect for the Eyer Building & Public Works Garage.

The guidance still calls for wearing masks in crowded indoor settings like buses, planes, hospitals, prisons and homeless shelters but it will help clear the way for reopening workplaces, schools, and other venues. This will even remove the need for social distancing for those who are fully vaccinated.

Check back for updates.

Kate brought in workers from her father's company, Gleason Works, to excavate and clear out the area. The park was named after Edmund Lyon, a friend of Kate Gleason's and a founder of our village. At the top of the hill on the corner of Main and East Ivy Streets a flagpole was erected on the highest elevation in East Rochester.
