Decisions
In September 2021 she announced various mask requirements, including that staff, visitors, and children ages 2 and older must wear face coverings at child care facilities.The mask mandates apply to individuals medically capable of using a mask, irrespective of their vaccination status. [1]
- According to the regulation issued by the New York State Department of Health, all health care workers in New York State, at hospitals and nursing homes, are to take the COVID-19 vaccine, with the first dose received by Monday, September 27, 2021. According to official figures, as the deadline loomed, 16 percent of the state’s roughly 450,000 hospital workers, or about 70,000, were not fully injected.[2] Workers who are terminated because of refusal to take the injection are not to be eligible for unemployment insurance.[3]
The plan to handle the health care firings includes preparing to sign an executive order if necessary to declare a state of emergency that seeks to increase workforce supply and allow qualified health care professionals licensed in other states or countries, recent graduates, retired and formerly practicing health care professionals to practice in New York State. Other options include deployment of medically-trained National Guard members.[3]
