Coronavirus: Cuomo Outlines 'Stay At Home' Rules

[In_The_Wind]

NEW YORK, NY — All New Yorkers who are not considered essential workers were ordered by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to stay home and not report to work as of 8 p.m. Sunday. He said this was the most drastic action he could take, after first reducing the nonessential workforce by 50 percent and then 75 percent.

"These actions will cause disruption," Cuomo said Friday at a news conference. "They will cause businesses to close, will cause employees to stay at home."

The governor signed the order in an effort to help slow the spread of the new coronavirus. There were 2,950 additional coronavirus cases in New York State as of Friday morning, bringing the statewide total to 7,102. There were new cases in 23 counties.


Cuomo emphasized that this was a statewide order made solely by him, not a county executive or a mayor.

1. Already that figure is outdated.

We are up to 12,000 last I heard and that is probably old already.

2. Well over 20,000 .in NY state now, including my

community. It was only a matter of time since I am near Buffalo, though not in the city or suburbs. There are also 50+ in my own community who are not confirmed but being monitored. As I expected would happen, the confirmed cases in my community trace back to recent visits to Buffalo.

I went to thr NY state government website today for Cuomo's updates. Signed up there for regular e-mail updates from NY government.

3. I live in a 55+ community. Most of us are staying home.

My 69 year old husband is a home health care aide. He works 6 days a week. I'm worried about his possible exposure.

4. Are you in the Rochester area?

No doubt that your husband is in a risky job right now. But he might be ok if he follows the safe guidelines, e.g.hand washing, gloves, sanitizer, etc.

5. North of Rochester. Straight up the Thruway.

In Ulster County. He was inside all day today. It's the grocery shopping trips they do that worries me the most.

6. Does he take his patient shopping?

I am assuming that his patient has some type of health problem or physical disability. Is it safe for the patient/client to be out and about? Maybe he should stock up so it's not necessary to go out shopping.
