New York, stay home. Healthy or sick, all New Yorkers must stay home unless they are essential workers or need urgent health care.

People who do not show symptoms may still be able to spread COVID-19. A face covering can help prevent you from spreading COVID-19 to other people, so you should wear one whenever you leave the home.

Even if you have a face covering, continue to stay home as much as possible and avoid close contact with other people.
