Gov. Cuomo Extends New York’s Stay-at-Home Order Until June 13
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has announced that the state’s stay-at-home order, which had been set to expire Friday, is being extended until June 13.
“Both travel-related cases and community contact transmission of COVID-19 have been documented in New York State and are expected to continue,” the governor’s executive order says in continuing the “New York State on PAUSE” policy, which was put in place in March.
“All enforcement mechanisms by state or local governments shall continue to be in full force and effect until June 13, 2020, unless later extended or amended by a future Executive Order,” he added in the order signed Thursday.
LA County will likely keep stay-at-home orders in place through July
LOS ANGELES (KTTV) – Los Angeles County’s stay-at-home order will likely be extended until the end of July, unless county health officials see “dramatic change in this virus or in the tools” available to fight COVID-19, Dr. Barbara Ferrer, the county’s top public health official, told the Board of Supervisors Tuesday.
Ferrer’s comments came during a debate over how long a moratorium on evictions should remain in place. She did not directly address the extension of the current public health “Safer-at-Home” order, which is set to expire May 15.
The county began relaxing some of the stay-at-home restrictions on Friday, allowing certain retail stores to reopen for curbside pickup with social distancing and reopening a majority of the county’s hiking trails to residents who wore face-coverings and maintained six feet of space from others.
“Our hope is that by using the data, we’d be able to slowly lift restrictions over the next three months,” she said.
