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.
