(WBEN) - No business will be able to have more than 50% of their workforce leave home, per a new mandate from New York State.

The announcement was made by Governor Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday. It means many businesses will have to find ways for employees to work form home.


"We are doing everything we can as states to reduce density and contain the spread of the virus," Governor Cuomo said. "It is critical that we remain on the same page as our neighboring states, and so far we are the only region in the country partnering to create uniform, regional density reduction policies that prevent 'state shopping.' We will continue working together to update our regulations and guidance as the situation evolves while keeping a consistent standard across the region."
