Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced Wednesday that New York will end the state disaster emergency declared on March 7, 2020, to fight COVID-19. The state of emergency will expire after Thursday, June 24.
federal CDC guidance will remain in effect, which includes masks for unvaccinated individuals, as well as all riders on public transit and in certain settings, such as health care, nursing homes, correctional facilities, and homeless shelters. State and local government health departments will still be able to ensure mask rules and other health precautions are adhered to in those settings.
