A federal judge on Friday pushed back against New York state's COVID-19 gathering limits, granting a preliminary injunction in a case that challenged restrictions on houses of worship.
U.S. District Judge Gary Sharpe ordered New York officials to not enforce any outdoor gathering limitations, if people are following social-distancing requirements.
According to his order, the officials are also prevented from enforcing indoor gathering limits against the plaintiffs that are greater than restrictions placed on companies in phase two of the state's reopening plan. That provision is also stipulated on people following social-distancing requirements.
