Coronavirus: Cuomo Outlines 'Stay At Home' Rules [View all]
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.
