We all want schools to open but it has to be safe. In NY we will decide based on the data.
Schools will reopen if a region is in Phase 4 & daily infection rate remains below 5% (14-day avg).
Schools close if regional infection rate is greater than 9% (7-day avg) after August 1.
President Trump is attacking science.
He is denying reality and jeopardizing public health.
It is gross negligence.
NY is issuing an emergency health order:
Out-of-state travelers from designated high-COVID states must provide their contact information upon arrival.
If you fail to provide it, you will receive a summons with a $2K fine.
Were serious about enforcing quarantine.
