The law provides guaranteed job protection and paid leave for New York employees who are unable to work while subject to a COVID-19 precautionary or mandatory order of quarantine. Learn more about obtaining an order of quarantine.
Regarding the Executive Order from the NYS Governor’s Office, domestic travel is currently discouraged for New York State residents to states noted as “hot spots”. All travelers entering New York from a state with a positive test rate higher than 10 per 100,000 residents, or higher than a 10% test positivity rate, over a seven day rolling average, will be required to quarantine for a period of 14 days consistent with Department of Health regulations for quarantine. The travel advisory requires all New Yorkers, as well as those visiting from out of state, to take personal responsibility for complying with the advisory in the best interest of public health and safety. The requirements of the travel advisory do not apply to any individual passing through designated states for a limited duration (i.e., less than 24 hours) through the course of travel. Exceptions to the travel advisory may be permitted for essential workers, who will be required to maintain quarantine, but may report to work with the approval of their employers. The states are constantly updated and listed here (https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/covid-19-travel-advisory).
