What it required
Every person to obey every local emergency order of a county executive, mayor or other chief executive (curfews, closing of places of assembly, control of persons on public streets), on pain of a class B misdemeanor, the offense provision behind the New York City mayoral emergency orders of 2020-2021 held in the Metros/NYC folder and behind every county emergency order in the State.
