June 10th, 2020 – Outdoor dining reopened today with tables spaced 6' apart. More than 50 restaurants in the Town of Islip were granted temporary outdoor dining/tent permits in preparation for the June 10th Phase-Two reopening.
Retail businesses opened their doors to limited capacity, as well as hair salons and barbershops, by appointment only.
"It was the collective cooperation of each individual doing their part, that has brought us to today's Phase Two reopening," said Islip Supervisor Angie Carpenter. "We have worked so hard together as a Town to get to this point, where we can once again enjoy outdoor dining. We need to remain diligent by continuing to wear face coverings and maintain social distancing, in order to avoid a setback," she said.
