New Yorker Tips

This Memorial Day we honor and remember those who gave their lives in service to our country. We are forever grateful. #MemorialDay2020

We have new guidance for New Yorkers: We're advising New Yorkers to wear a face covering when you go outside and near others. It can be a scarf, a bandana or one you make at home. But PLEASE: save medical masks for our health care workers & first responders who truly need them.

New York State on PAUSE is extended to April 15. That means the non-essential workforce is directed to continue to work from home until at least April 15. We will re-evaluate every two weeks.

We desperately needed the Defense Production Act invoked to ensure the production of life-saving ventilators. We are relieved that just happened. Lives depend on it.

A Special Enrollment Period is now open on the @NYStateofHealth marketplace. If you are uninsured or if you recently lost employer coverage, apply for a health plan today: nystateofhealth.ny.gov

We are not willing to sacrifice 1-2% of New Yorkers. That’s not who we are. We will fight to save every life we can. I am not giving up.

Governor Cuomo's executive order goes into effect at 8 PM tonight. What will that mean for every New Yorker? Mayor de Blasio breaks it down for us:

URGENT! NYS is calling on recently retired health care professionals to sign up to be part of a reserve staff if the need arises. We also need qualified medical and nursing school students & staff. Enlist today: health.ny.gov/assistance 📢Please share far and wide.📢

#BREAKING: NY, CT, NJ, and PA will temporarily close all barber shops, nail & hair salons, tattoo shops, & similar services in our four states effective tomorrow at 8PM. These temporary closures are not going to be easy, but they are necessary to protect the public health.

New York City students: We got your back! Between 7:30am and 1:30pm, students can receive Grab-and-Go lunches at the entrance of every @NYCSchools.

In response to #COVID19, Treasury and #IRS allow most tax payments to be delayed until July 15. You need to file a return or request a filing extension by April 15. No other filing is necessary for payment extensions. See free options at: irs.gov/coronavirus
