NEW YORK GOVERNOR ISSUES ORDER TO BYPASS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S COVID VACCINE LIMITS

The order, which Hochul signed during a visit to an elementary school, is effective for 30 days, though the governor said she would extend it as needed until the state legislature meets in January and can consider a more permanent fix.
