Governor Andrew Cuomo’s July 13th COVID-19 Message
Everybody wants to reopen schools, but we can only do so if it’s safe to reopen. That will be determined solely by the data. Today, we announced a formula for how and when it is safe for schools to reopen in New York State. Schools can reopen if the region is in Phase 4 and if the region’s daily infection rate remains at or below 5 percent using a 14-day average. Schools will close if the regional infection rate rises above 9 percent, using a 7-day average, after August 1. Read more about New York State’s school reopening guidance here.
Photo of the Day: At my briefing today, I unveiled a historical-styled poster that visualizes our state’s struggle with COVID. (Click here for full-sized poster.)
Here’s what else you need to know tonight:
1. A travel enforcement program will commence tomorrow, July 14th, at airports across the state to help ensure travelers are following quarantine protocols. Enforcement teams will be stationed at airports to ensure compliance with the mandatory State Department of Health traveler form, which is being distributed by airlines to passengers flying to New York State. An electronic version of the traveler form is also available. Travelers who fail to provide their contact information will receive a summons with a $2,000 fine.
2. New York State will deploy testing and contact tracing teams to Atlanta as the city continues to experience an increase in the number of COVID-19 cases. New York remembers how people across the country came to NY in our time of need and we vowed to pay it forward any way we could.
3. The number of total hospitalizations declined. Yesterday there were 792 total hospitalizations. The state conducted 51,687 tests, of which 557, or 1.08%, were positive. Sadly, we lost 10 New Yorkers to the virus.
4. Take advantage of the beauty of New York’s canals and hiking trails this summer. Through Labor Day, the NYS Canal Corporation is promoting six hubs of canals and trail activity and celebrating local canalside businesses across Upstate NY. The program will offer free outdoor excursions by kayak and/or bike in Schenectady, Chittenango, Seneca Falls and Rochester. Learn more.
Tonight’s “Deep Breath Moment”: To deliver meals to children who don’t have access to summer meal sites, Foodlink and the Regional Transit Service have partnered upto distribute food in Rochester neighborhoods through an ice cream truck approach. The buses circulate through neighborhoods of the city on Monday-Friday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Ever Upward,
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo

Governor Cuomo urges New Yorkers to slow down in work zones as New York reopening continues
As Traffic Increases, New Yorkers Are Urged to Practice Caution As Construction Crews and Law Enforcement Work to Keep Highways Safe
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today, in partnership with the New York State Department of Transportation, Department of Motor Vehicles, the Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee, State Police and the Thruway Authority reminded motorists of the importance of moving over for highway workers, first responders and others who assist with motor vehicle crashes and roadside incidents. As regions across the state continue reopening, it will bring increased traffic and a greater need for drivers to be aware and respectful of those who work to keep us safe as we travel along New York’s roads and bridges.
“While New Yorkers remain vigilant to stop the spread of COVID-19, we must also be mindful of the emergency responders, highway workers, tow truck drivers, police officers and others who work to keep us safe,” Governor Cuomo said. “As areas across the state continue reopening and more motorists take to the road, I urge all drivers to follow the law, use common sense and be considerate so our brave men and women can work safely.”
Recognizing and understanding signs leading up to and within a work zone is essential for the safety of all drivers and roadside workers. Motorists are reminded that fines are doubled for speeding in a work zone and in accordance with the Work Zone Safety Act of 2005, convictions of two or more speeding violations in a work zone could result in the suspension of an individual’s driver license. More work zone safety tips can be found at thruway.ny.gov.

Assemblyman Jones: State must provide PPE and hand sanitizer to our schools
“Many school administrators, teachers, faculty and concerned parents from our local schools have reached out to my office with concerns about acquiring PPE and hand sanitizer for the upcoming school year as New York State releases more guidance for reopening. As an advocate for public education, I understand the current fiscal situation for our local school districts and share their concerns about the affordability of PPE and hand sanitizer. There is no doubt that in-person instruction is important for our children’s wellbeing and mental health but we must ensure the safety of our students and educators when considering schools reopening.
“With that said, whether school districts can afford PPE and hand sanitizer should not have to be a factor in this decision because these items are a necessity for school districts to reopen safely. Nothing is more important than providing a safe environment for our children and their teachers and the least New York State can do is provide PPE and hand sanitizer for our public schools. In the upcoming weeks, I will continue to fight for the State to provide PPE and hand sanitizer for schools to make sure that our local school districts have the proper equipment to keep our children and their educators safe.”
