Gov. Kathy Hochul, D-N.Y., announced during a Friday briefing at the New York state Capitol in Albany that she is shortening the requisite quarantine period for vaccinated “critical workforce” who test positive for COVID-19.
Such workers must be either asymptomatic or showing resolving symptoms, said Hochul, who spoke during a briefing at the New York state Capitol in Albany. They must also be free of a fever for 72 hours, not be taking medication, and wear a mask on the job.
"We want to make sure that our critical workforce who we’ve relied on from the beginning … that our workers can get back," Hochul said. "And that includes our health care, elder care, home health care, sanitation, grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants — you know who you are.
