NYS releases new COVID testing guidance for Executive Branch workers
ALBANY — New York State recently issued new guidance regarding COVID-19 testing for Executive Branch employees.
The Governor’s
Office of
Employee
Relations
(GOER) has
advised that
employees who’ve
tested positive for
COVID-19 within the last 90
days will no longer be required
to submit to weekly testing under the State’s weekly testing program
until 90 days have passed from the date of your positive test.
It is important to remember
that, while you are not required to submit
weekly tests for work, anyone who develops symptoms of
COVID-19 should stay home and
contact the Covid Hotline at (888) 364-3065
immediately for information regarding future testing, even if you previously tested positive.
