Coronavirus positivity rates are climbing due to the delta variant, leading Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday to encourage business owners to limit customers.
“Bars, restaurants, go to vaccine-only admission,” the governor said during a Monday press briefing. “I believe it’s in your best business interest.”
It’s a step backwards that business leaders don’t want to take.
“That’s just not going to work,” said Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce President Todd Shimkus. He said a number of employers struggled to enforce the mask mandate last year.

Central Illinois lawmakers and interest groups gave mixed reaction to Gov. JB Pritzker s $41.58 billion budget proposal Wednesday, but Democrats and Republicans acknowledged the tough choices ahead because of the pandemic.
General Assembly Democrats expressed their support for Pritzker s proposal even while hoping for increases to fund state programs. Across the aisle, Republicans said the governor s budget takes Illinois in the wrong direction as lawmakers work to rebuild the economy this spring.
Republicans are particularly irritated by Pritzker s proposal to close tax incentives for businesses to help keep revenue up.
“When you’re eliminating incentives to invest and create jobs, that’s basically a tax increase,” said state Rep. Tim Butler, R-Springfield.
