Governor Hochul updated New Yorkers on the state's progress combating COVID-19.

La gobernadora Hochul anunció que la Junta de Fideicomisarios de la Universidad de la Ciudad de Nueva York votó el lunes para poner fin de forma permanente a una política que prohibía a las universidades de CUNY publicar expedientes académicos oficiales y verificación de inscripción a estudiantes y graduados que adeudaban a la Universidad saldos y cuotas de matrícula pendientes de pago.

Governor Hochul announced that the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) and the New York State Department of Health (DOH) are calling on the federal government to issue guidance to all insurers to cover COVID-19 vaccination consultations for children and their families.

New York State, led by the Department of Health, will be hosting an expert panel on long COVID on Thursday, February 3.

“Today marks the beginning of Black History Month, a time for all New Yorkers to reflect on the many contributions of the Black community and the ongoing struggle for equity."

Governor Hochul announced the City University of New York Board of Trustees voted on Monday to permanently end a policy that banned CUNY colleges from releasing official transcripts and enrollment verification to students and graduates who owed the University unpaid tuition balances and fees.

"I commend the Appellate Division, Second Department for granting a full stay to keep our masking regulations in place for the duration of our appeal."

Governor Hochul announced additional resources from the federal government will arrive in New York State as early as February 7 providing additional relief to hospitals during the COVID-19 winter surge, which will assist over stressed hospital staff and systems over the coming weeks.

"Earlier today, I met with President Biden, Vice President Harris, and cabinet officials as part of the National Governors Association’s 2022 Winter Meeting."
