New York Stock Exchange Reopens <br />While Requiring Masks and Waiver The New York Stock Exchange's <br />trading floor has been closed since <br />March 23 due to COVID-19. But on Tuesday, <br />Gov. Andrew Cuomo <br />rang the opening bell to <br />partially reopen the floor. A limited number of traders <br />will be able to enter the building. Nobody is permitted to take <br />public transportation to get to work, <br />and everyone's temperatures <br />will be taken at entrances. Once inside the building, masks and <br />distancing measures are mandatory. Those who enter the building <br />will also have to sign a waiver. According to 'The Wall Street Journal,' <br />the waiver states traders could be susceptible to <br />"contracting COVID-19, respiratory failure, death <br />and transmitting COVID-19 to family or household <br />members and others who may also suffer these effects." Peter Tuchman, the trading floor's most photographed <br />person, will not be returning on Tuesday because <br />he tested positive for COVID-19 on March 18.
