We all want schools to open but it has to be safe. In NY we will decide based on the data.

Schools will reopen if a region is in Phase 4 & daily infection rate remains below 5% (14-day avg).

Schools close if regional infection rate is greater than 9% (7-day avg) after August 1.



President Trump is attacking science.

He is denying reality and jeopardizing public health.

It is gross negligence.


NY is issuing an emergency health order:

Out-of-state travelers from designated high-COVID states must provide their contact information upon arrival.

If you fail to provide it, you will receive a summons with a $2K fine.

We’re serious about enforcing quarantine.
