New York Governor Kathy Hochul is telling Empire State students and parents COVID rules are over.
According to a report from The New York Post, Governor Hochul said “No more quarantining — no more ‘test to stay,’” during a recent press conference. “The days of sending an entire classroom home because one person was symptomatic or tested positive — those days are over,” she added.
“The move puts New York in line with new health guidelines recently unveiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which effectively nixed remaining pandemic protocols like quarantining after a close contact with a positive case of COVID-19,” The Post reports.
