Coronavirus Resource Center

We have assembled the information on this page with respect to select federal and New York State legislation, executive orders and regulatory guidance as a resource during these unprecedented times. This is not a definitive or comprehensive catalog or summary of all existing legislation, executive orders or regulatory guidance; similarly, it is not legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Like so much that is related to the COVID-19 crisis, these resources are constantly changing with revisions, supplements and additions to applicable policies, legislation, mandates, regulations and guidelines. Therefore, we suggest that you contact us with specific questions, and visit the websites referenced on this page (as well as the websites of other governmental entities addressing the COVID-19 crisis) for current information
