Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he will relinquish the emergency powers he’s held for the past 15 months during the COVID-19 pandemic as infection rates continue to drop and vaccination rates slowly climb.
Those powers gave Cuomo the power to close schools and businesses, require masks and social distancing, and regulate how many people could gather at one time, even in private homes.
“The emergency is over,” said Cuomo, who added that the state of emergency will end Thursday. “It will not be renewed.”
Cuomo’s wide-ranging powers became controversial in recent months as he faces a number of scandals, including sexual harassment allegations and the accuracy of nursing home death numbers during the pandemic. In early March, the Democratic-led state Legislature moved to curb some of those powers.
