Amid the current coronavirus (COIVID-19) outbreak, the New York Legislature has enacted legislation that gives workers emergency paid leave for coronavirus.

We hope that this fact sheet can help you understand the key elements of this legislation and any leave benefits for coronavirus and how it may affect you and your family.
