On June 23rd, Governor Cuomo announced that New York’s state-level disaster emergency declaration and public health emergency (PHE) due to COVID-19 would expire, effective 11:59pm on June 24th. Therefore, as of June 25th, the emergency provisions in Executive Order 202 and its successors through 202.111 no longer apply, except those that have been enacted into law previously or that remain in effect pursuant to the federal Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Act. Various NYS agencies have issued guidance clarifying the status of emergency COVID-19 policies and are planning further clarifications.
The attached document contains the following:
- An updated version of SPG’s Waiver Timeline Tracker document to show in detail the status of these policies;
- A summary of NYS agency policies and guidance released so far; and
- A brief summary of the continued application of federal PHE-related policies.
