ALBANY â Following in New York Cityâs footsteps, New York state is making vaccinations or regular COVID-19 testing mandatory for all state employees.
Additionally, all patient-facing front-line health care workers in state-run hospitals must be immunized, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Wednesday.
âI think we need dramatic action to get control of this situation,â the governor said during a virtual address delivered to members of the Association for a Better New York. âSo in New York, and in our state hospitals, all patient-facing health care workers must get vaccinated. There will be no testing option for patient-facing health care workers.
âThat is a point of contact that could be a serious spreading event, and we want to make sure those health care workers are vaccinated â period,â he added.

ALBANY The long-standing practice of state agencies to secretly use their administrative subpoena authority to sift the personal records of employees in internal investigations was struck down by a state Supreme Court justice in a ruling that found the State Police were not adhering to the provisions of Public Officers Law.
The ruling by state Supreme Court Justice Patrick J. McGrath was handed down in a case filed in December 2019 by the New York State Police Investigators Association, which challenged the State Police practice of using subpoenas to access the smartphone, personal email and other private records of employees without their knowledge during internal investigations.
