The record in brief

New York's regime ran on one continuous State disaster emergency, Executive Order 202 (Mar. 7, 2020; Ex. NY-001), issued under Executive Law art. 2-B and armed three days earlier by ch. 23 of the Laws of 2020 (Mar. 3, 2020; Ex. NY-080), which rewrote Executive Law 29-a to let the Governor 'issue any directive during a state disaster emergency' for an 'epidemic' or 'disease outbreak.' Every one of the 111 successor orders (EO 202.1 through 202.111) and the four travel orders (EO 205 through 205.3) rested on it, and EO 210 (June 24, 2021; Ex. NY-049) rescinded all of them 'effective June 25, 2021.' 2020 Q2 (with the Mar. 13-31 run-up): EO 202.1 (Mar. 12) cancelled gatherings over 500; EO 202.3 (Mar. 16) cut gatherings to 50, closed every restaurant and bar to on-premises service at 8 p.m., closed gyms, fitness classes, movie theaters and casinos, and forbade any inconsistent local emergency order; EO 202.4 (Mar. 16) closed every school from Mar. 18; EO 202.5 (Mar. 18) closed enclosed malls over 100,000 square feet and every place of public amusement from 8 p.m. Mar. 19; EO 202.6, 202.7 and 202.8 (Mar. 18-20) ordered every business and not-for-profit to 'utilize, to the maximum extent possible, any telecommuting or work from home procedures' and to cut the in-person workforce at every work location by 50 percent (Mar. 20, 8 p.m.), 75 percent (Mar. 21, 8 p.m.) and 100 percent (Mar. 22, 8 p.m.), with Empire State Development alone deciding which businesses were 'essential' (Exs. NY-003, NY-004, NY-002, NY-090 to NY-094); EO 202.7 closed barbershops, hair salons, tattoo and piercing parlors, nail and cosmetology services 'as these services cannot be provided while maintaining social distance'; EO 202.8 halted every eviction and foreclosure for ninety days, cancelled every in-person DMV appointment and tolled every statute of limitations; EO 202.10 (Mar. 23) cancelled 'non-essential gatherings of individuals of any size for any reason' and directed the Commissioner of Health to make hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, office-based surgery practices and diagnostic and treatment centers cancel 'all elective surgeries and procedures'; EO 202.9 and 202.13 forced ninety-day bank forbearance and a sixty-day insurance-cancellation moratorium, implemented by DFS emergency regulations (Exs. NY-013, NY-015, NY-100, NY-101); the Chief Administrative Judge closed the courts to all but essential matters (AO/68/20, AO/78/20; Exs. NY-061, NY-060). EO 202.11 made any occupancy above the ordered level a violation of the Uniform Code enforceable by police removal and Do Not Occupy orders and made DOH guidance supersede every local health department's; EO 202.14 (Apr. 7) added a $1,000 fine under Public Health Law 12-b(2); EO 202.16, 202.17 and 202.18 (Apr. 12-16) imposed face coverings on essential-business employees (Apr. 15), on every person over two in public (Apr. 17) and on every transit and for-hire passenger and operator (Apr. 17). New York on PAUSE ran, by its own terms, to 11:59 p.m. May 15 and then May 28 (EO 202.18, 202.31), and reopening came region by region and industry by industry under mandatory DOH 'Interim Guidance': Phase One (construction, agriculture, curbside retail, manufacturing, wholesale) from May 15 in five upstate regions (EO 202.31); Phase Two (offices, real estate, in-store retail, hair salons, vehicle sales) from May 29 (EO 202.35); Phase Three (indoor dining, personal care) from June 12 (EO 202.41); Phase Four (higher education, media production, low-risk arts and entertainment, professional sports without fans) from June 26 (EO 202.45); gatherings of ten (May 22), twenty-five (Phase Three) and fifty (Phase Four). New York City reached Phase One only on June 8 and was refused indoor dining altogether (EO 202.48, July 6). 2020 Q3: every reopened industry operated under the guidance's 50 percent occupancy ceilings (offices, retail, manufacturing, religious services, personal care), 25 percent (indoor arts) and 'takeout or delivery only' for New York City restaurants until Sept. 30 (EO 202.61, 25 percent); EO 202.52 (July 16) forbade alcohol service without food; EO 205 (effective 12:01 a.m. June 25) imposed a fourteen-day quarantine on travelers from designated States with a $10,000 penalty (Exs. NY-006, NY-077); schools reopened from Sept. 1 under DOH guidance (EO 202.60); casinos and New York City malls reopened Sept. 9. 2020 Q4: EO 202.68 (Oct. 6) created red, orange and yellow cluster zones (100 percent workforce reduction, worship at 25 percent or ten, takeout only, schools closed in red zones; gyms and personal care closed in orange zones) with $15,000-a-day penalties for organizing gatherings; EO 202.74 (Nov. 12, effective 10 p.m. Nov. 13) closed every liquor-licensed premises, restaurant and gym from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. and capped private residential gatherings at ten; EO 202.81 closed New York City indoor dining from Dec. 14; EO 205.1, 205.2 and 205.3 extended quarantine to international arrivals and created a test-out; the Legislature stayed evictions and foreclosures to May 1, 2021 (ch. 381, Dec. 28, 2020). 2021 Q1: the emergency, the cluster zones, the 10 p.m. (then 11 p.m. from Feb. 14, EO 202.94) closing, the mask orders, the ten-person residential cap and the travel quarantine ran on; New York City indoor dining returned at 25 percent (Feb. 12), 35 percent (Feb. 26) and 50 percent; movie theaters reopened statewide at 25 percent on Mar. 5; ch. 71 of the Laws of 2021 (Mar. 7) ended the Governor's power to issue new directives but expressly preserved and let him extend every existing one; ch. 73 (Mar. 9) stayed commercial evictions. 2021 Q2: capacity rose by steps (events venues 33 percent Apr. 2; New York City dining 75 percent May 7) until EO 202.108 (May 17) removed percentage caps and curfews effective May 19 and May 31 and lifted the mask order for vaccinated persons; EO 202.111 (June 15) ended gathering limits; EO 210 rescinded the 202 and 205 series effective June 25; but the Department of Health readopted its face-covering rule for unvaccinated persons and employees (10 NYCRR Subpart 66-3, filed June 23, 2021), its isolation-and-quarantine rule (10 NYCRR 2.13, filed May 28, 2021), its nursing-home vaccination-offer rule (Subpart 66-4, June 24, 2021) and its PPE-stockpile rules (June 24, 2021), and the Legislature enacted the NY HERO Act (ch. 105, May 5, 2021; Labor Law 218-b) and extended the eviction stays to Aug. 31, 2021 (ch. 104, May 4, 2021). 2021 Q3: on every day from July 1 to Sept. 30, 2021 New York employers were subject to force-of-law State instruments: Subpart 66-3 (masks for unvaccinated persons and employees; employer duty to provide them) until Aug. 27, then the new 10 NYCRR 2.60 with the Commissioner's Determination on Indoor Masking (Aug. 27: all health-care personnel and visitors, adult care facilities, universal P-12 masking, correctional facilities, shelters, public transportation); 10 NYCRR 2.61 (Aug. 26: every hospital, nursing home, home care agency, hospice and adult care facility must have every worker vaccinated, first doses by Sept. 27 for hospitals and nursing homes and Oct. 7 for the rest); 10 NYCRR 2.62 and the Sept. 2 Determination (weekly testing of every unvaccinated P-12 teacher, staff member and contractor, including bus drivers); 10 NYCRR 2.13 (readopted Aug. 26; isolation and quarantine orders on infected and exposed persons, violation punishable civilly and criminally); Subpart 66-4 and the PPE and Surge-and-Flex rules (readopted July 30); the HERO Act standard (published July 6; plans mandatory Aug. 5; 12 NYCRR 840.1 filed Aug. 5) and the Commissioner's Sept. 6 designation of COVID-19, which activated every private employer's exposure prevention plan through Sept. 30 and then Oct. 31; the eviction and foreclosure stays (to Aug. 31, then to Jan. 15, 2022 by ch. 417 of Sept. 2, 2021); and, from Sept. 27, 2021, Governor Hochul's EO 4 declaring a new statewide disaster emergency for health-care staffing shortages.

The six quarters

What the record shows in force in New York on the first day and the last day of each quarter. Every exhibit named here opens its record. The orders of March 13 to 31, 2020 belong to the second quarter of 2020, because wages paid after March 12, 2020 fall in that quarter.

The end of general restrictions

The day the general business restrictions ended in New York, the instrument that ended them, and what the record shows still in force afterward. The end of the general orders is not the end of the record: sector rules, standing duties and the federal layer continue past it.

End of general restrictions

Instrument EO 202.108 (May 17, 2021; Ex. NY-054) ended percentage-of-occupancy capacity limits (May 19), the midnight curfew (outdoor May 17, indoor May 31) and the mask mandate for fully vaccinated persons (May 19); EO 202.111 (June 15, 2021; Ex. NY-057) ended the remaining gathering limits; EO 210 (June 24, 2021; Ex. NY-049) rescinded Executive Orders 202 through 202.111 and 205 through 205.3 'effective June 25, 2021'

What remained in force

10 NYCRR Subpart 66-3 (face coverings for unvaccinated persons and for unvaccinated employees in contact with the public; employers must provide them; food-service employees masked at all times; readopted June 23, 2021, in force until repealed and replaced Aug. 27, 2021 by 10 NYCRR 2.60 and the Commissioner's Determination on Indoor Masking); 10 NYCRR 2.13 (isolation and quarantine orders; readopted May 28 and Aug. 26, 2021); 10 NYCRR Subpart 66-4 (nursing-home and adult-care vaccination offering and certification; June 24 and July 30, 2021); 10 NYCRR 405.11 and 415.19 (PPE stockpiles) and Part 360 (Surge and Flex; June 24 and July 30, 2021); the NY HERO Act, Labor Law 218-b (plans mandatory Aug. 5, 2021; 12 NYCRR 840.1 filed Aug. 5, 2021; plans activated by the Commissioner's designation of Sept. 6, 2021, continued Sept. 30 to Oct. 31, 2021); 10 NYCRR 2.61 (health-care worker vaccination, Aug. 26, 2021; first doses by Sept. 27 and Oct. 7, 2021); 10 NYCRR 2.9 and 2.62 (school reporting and weekly staff testing, Sept. 2, 2021); the residential and commercial eviction and foreclosure stays (ch. 381 of 2020, ch. 73 and ch. 104 of 2021 to Aug. 31, 2021; ch. 417 of 2021 to Jan. 15, 2022); Governor Hochul's EO 4 (Sept. 27, 2021, statewide disaster emergency for health-care staffing).

Preemption of local orders

The State occupied the field from the first week. EO 202.3 (Mar. 16, 2020; Ex. NY-010): 'No local government or political subdivision shall issue any local emergency order or declaration of emergency or disaster inconsistent with, conflicting with or superseding the foregoing directives, or any other executive order issued under Section 24 of the Executive Law and any local emergency order or any local administrative codes, charters, laws, rules or regulations, are hereby suspended with respect to any such order issued under such authority different or in conflict with Executive directives.' EO 202.5 (Mar. 18, 2020; Ex. NY-012) repeated the bar 'Notwithstanding section 24 of the Executive Law.' EO 202.6 and 202.13 (Exs. NY-003, NY-015) gave Empire State Development Corporation alone the power to decide which businesses and which construction projects were essential. EO 202.11 (Mar. 27, 2020; Ex. NY-014): 'Any guidance issued by the New York State Department of Health related to prevention and infection control of COVID-19 shall be effective immediately and shall supersede any prior conflicting guidance issued by the New York State Department of Health and any guidance issued by any local board of health, any local department of health, or any other political subdivision of the State related to the same subject.' Reopening was likewise State-controlled: regions and industries reopened only when 'the Department of Health' determined the metrics were met (EO 202.31, 202.34, 202.35, 202.41, 202.45), New York City's indoor dining was withheld and restored by the Governor alone (EO 202.48, 202.61, 202.81, 202.93, 202.96, 202.97, 202.106), and cluster zones were drawn by DOH (EO 202.68). Ch. 71 of the Laws of 2021 (Mar. 7, 2021; Ex. NY-081) then provided that 'No directive shall be extended or modified to the extent that such directive prohibits the adoption by any municipality of this state a local executive order within such municipality's existing power except where such an order conflicts with any executive order issued by the state,' and gave the Legislature power to terminate directives and the emergency by concurrent resolution. After EO 210 (June 25, 2021) the State's general orders fell away and local instruments governed alongside the DOH regulations; the Department of Health's own Register statement (Sept. 15, 2021; Ex. NY-071) records that 'local governments have separate authority and responsibilities to control disease within their jurisdictions pursuant to PHL sec. 2100 and Part 2 of the State Sanitary Code.'

Standing duties

The statutes, codes and penalty provisions of New York that stood before March 2020 and ran through every claimable quarter. They are the reason nothing an employer did under the orders was voluntary. Read the New York duties →

New York placed every employer under three layers of standing law before the first COVID-19 directive issued, and every directive was written on top of them. First, the Public Health Law. Section 12(1)(a) makes 'any person who violates, disobeys or disregards any term or provision of this chapter or of any lawful notice, order or regulation pursuant thereto' liable for a civil penalty of up to $2,000 for every violation (up to $5,000 for a repeat violation that was a serious threat to health and safety, and $10,000 where serious physical harm results) (Ex. DUT-NY-001); section 12-b(1) makes wilful refusal to comply with any lawful order or regulation of a local board of health or health officer a misdemeanor, and section 12-b(2) makes wilful violation of the chapter or any regulation under it punishable by up to one year's imprisonment or a $10,000 fine (Ex. DUT-NY-002); section 16 lets the Commissioner order any person maintaining 'a condition or activity which in his opinion constitutes danger to the health of the people' to 'discontinue such dangerous condition or activity or take certain action immediately' (Ex. DUT-NY-003); section 206(1) charges the Commissioner to 'take cognizance of the interests of health and life of the people of the state' and to 'investigate the causes of disease, epidemics... and the effect of localities, employments and other conditions, upon the public health' (Ex. DUT-NY-004); section 225 empowers the Public Health and Health Planning Council to make the State Sanitary Code dealing with 'any matters affecting the security of life or health' and designating the communicable diseases dangerous to the public health (Ex. DUT-NY-005), and section 229 gives the Code 'the force and effect of law' with criminal penalties for non-compliance (Ex. DUT-NY-006); section 2100 commands every local board of health and health officer to 'guard against the introduction of such communicable diseases' by 'control of all persons and things infected with or exposed to such diseases' and lets them 'prohibit and prevent all intercourse and communication with or use of infected premises, places and things' and require their 'thorough purification and cleansing' before use resumes (Ex. DUT-NY-007); section 1303(3) commands every local board to 'order the suppression and removal of all nuisances and conditions detrimental to life and health' (Ex. DUT-NY-008); and 10 NYCRR 2.53 requires cleansing or disinfection of rooms and belongings after a person affected with a communicable disease leaves them (Ex. DUT-NY-009). The Governor's directives borrowed these teeth expressly: EO 202.14 made every violation of the directives 'punishable as a violation of public health law section 12-b(2)' (Ex. NY-016), and EO 202.16 made face coverings for customer-facing employees a duty 'enforced by local governments or local law enforcement' at the business's expense (Ex. NY-017). Second, the emergency statute. Executive Law section 29-a lets the Governor suspend laws during a State disaster emergency (Ex. DUT-NY-010); chapter 23 of 2020 added, from March 3, 2020, that 'the governor, by executive order, may issue any directive during a state disaster emergency declared in the following instances:... epidemic, disease outbreak...' and that 'any such directive must be necessary to cope with the disaster and may provide for procedures reasonably necessary to enforce such directive' (Ex. NY-080); chapter 71 of 2021 ended the power to issue new directives on March 7, 2021 while keeping every existing directive alive and extendable in 30-day increments for 'a public health directive related to managing the COVID-19 pandemic' (Ex. NY-081); Executive Law section 24(5) makes knowing violation of a local emergency order a class B misdemeanor (Ex. DUT-NY-011), the offense provision behind every New York City mayoral emergency order. Third, the workplace duties. Labor Law section 200(1): all places of employment 'shall be so constructed, equipped, arranged, operated and conducted as to provide reasonable and adequate protection to the lives, health and safety of all persons employed therein or lawfully frequenting such places' (Ex. DUT-NY-013); for private employers the federal general duty clause, 29 U.S.C. 654(a)(1), applies because New York's OSHA plan covers public employers only (Ex. DUT-NY-017); and from June 2021 the NY HERO Act, Labor Law section 218-b (Ex. NY-082; codified text Ex. DUT-NY-014; amended by chapter 142 of 2021, Ex. DUT-NY-015), required each employer to adopt an airborne infectious disease exposure prevention plan within thirty days after the Commissioner of Labor published the model standards (published July 6, 2021, Ex. NY-129), to distribute and post it, and to activate it on the Commissioner of Health's designation of COVID-19 (September 6, 2021, Ex. NY-127), on pain of civil penalties of $50 per day for having no plan and $1,000 to $10,000 for not abiding by one. New York's liability shield, the Emergency or Disaster Treatment Protection Act (Public Health Law article 30-D, chapter 56 of 2020, Part GGG, April 3, 2020), protected health care facilities and professionals only, and only where the services were provided 'in accordance with applicable law, or where appropriate pursuant to a COVID-19 emergency rule' and 'in support of the state's directives' (as amended by chapter 134 of 2020, Ex. DUT-NY-016); the Legislature repealed it on April 6, 2021 (chapter 96 of 2021, Ex. DUT-NY-018). Every other New York business had no shield at all; compliance with the health directives was its only defense to negligence under section 200 and the common law. On those duties the Governor built the operating conditions: EO 202.6 ('Each employer shall reduce the in-person workforce at any work locations by 50%', Ex. NY-003), EO 202.31 and 202.35 (reopened businesses 'must be operated subject to the guidance promulgated by the Department of Health', Exs. NY-022, NY-026), the ESD guidance ('Essential Businesses must continue to comply with the guidance and directives for maintaining a clean and safe work environment issued by the Department of Health', Ex. NY-091), and the NY Forward industry guidance ('No office-based work activities can operate without meeting the following minimum State standards'; 'Responsible Parties must affirm that they have reviewed and understand the state-issued industry guidelines, and that they will implement them', Ex. NY-131). The Eastern District of New York sustained the binding character of these conditions against a due-process challenge in Columbus Ale House, Inc. v. Cuomo (Oct. 16, 2020) (Ex. DUT-NY-019), and the Attorney General pleaded in People v. Amazon.com, Inc. (Feb. 16, 2021) that section 200 'requires employers to provide reasonable and adequate protection' and that the public-health guidance 'establishes the measures employers should institute... to satisfy their obligations under Labor Law § 200' (Ex. DUT-NY-020).

The question these duties answer

Whether the measures employers took 'beyond' the orders were voluntary. New York answer: the measures were the performance of duties imposed by statute (Public Health Law sections 12, 12-b, 16, 206, 225, 229, 1303 and 2100; Executive Law sections 24 and 29-a as amended by chapter 23 of 2020; Labor Law sections 200 and 218-b; 29 U.S.C. section 654(a)(1)), by the State Sanitary Code (10 NYCRR Part 2), and by directives that made continued operation conditional on Department of Health guidance ('must be operated subject to the guidance promulgated by the Department of Health', EO 202.31 and 202.35) and made every violation an offense under Public Health Law section 12-b(2) (EO 202.14).
