PAUSE Not Extended After All

Despite what the Times Union reported, the NY ON PAUSE executive order has not been extended. The following statement was issued by Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa:

NY ON PAUSE was not extended to June 6.

Yesterday's Executive Order extended the underlying legal authority for the Emergency Order, but did not change the text of any of the directives in NY ON PAUSE and so the expiration date of May 15 still stands until further notice. At that time, new guidance will be issued for regions based on the metrics outlined by Governor Cuomo earlier this week.
