IMPORTANT SCREEN SHOTS which outline NY's PAUSE: PAUSE stands for Policies Assure Uniform Safety for Everyone. PAUSE takes effect 8 p.m. Sunday night.
One policy is called "MATILDA'S LAW," named after Cuomo's 88-year-old mother: The most stringent rules are for New Yorkers age 70 or older: they must remain at home except for solitary exercise, wear masks in the presence of others, and check the temperatures of any essential visitors and aides. All other contact is prohibited.
100 percent of non-essential workers must stay home, and non-essential businesses must close.
We're NOT to take public transport, any non-essential gatherings are prohibited REGARDLESS of size, New Yorkers must remain 6-feet from one another when leaving the apartment for essentials like food and medicine, and sick New Yorkers should remain at home unless they need urgent medical attention.
These are not helpful hints," the governor stressed. "These are legal provisions, they will be enforced, there will be a civil fine and mandatory closure for any business that's not in compliance." Cuomo declined to discuss penalties for individuals, but said that violators would be addressed.
"essential business," healthcare workers, law enforcement, firefighters, transit workers, grocery workers, restaurant workers producing food for delivery and take out, delivery workers, child care workers, utility workers, auto repair workers, hardware store employees, and yes, liquor store employees, are considered essential (a full list from an executive order signed earlier this week can be seen here**). Mass transit will stay running to serve these essential workers. ** here: https://esd.ny.gov/guidance-executive-order-2026
