Travelers will have an extra year to “get real” before needing a new license to board domestic flights due to the outbreak of COVID-19.
Originally, beginning on Oct. 1, 2020, standard licenses would no longer make the cut for those looking to travel, requiring them to register for a REAL ID to board planes. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced most to stay inside, practice social distancing and closed DMV offices, the Department of Homeland Security announced plans to push that date a year, to Oct. 1, 2021. There are now three different forms of driver’s license or New York State identification, a standard - which will not be enough to board a domestic flight alone come October next year - enhanced, or the REAL ID license, which is in coordination with a new law aimed to increase security to travelers. "The federal, state and local response to the spread of the Coronavirus here in the United States necessitates a delay in this deadline," Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said in a statement Thursday, March 26. "States across the country are temporarily closing or restricting access to DMVs. This action will preclude millions of people from applying for and receiving their REAL ID." The REAL ID will feature a star in the corner of the license. The REAL ID will also become the standard for entering federal facilities. The requirements came following recommendations by the 9/11 Commission. According to a new study by the U.S. Travel Association, 57 percent of people said they were unaware of the October 2020 (now October 2021) deadline for domestic air travel, with approximately 39 percent saying they currently have zero Real ID-compliant documents. In order to obtain a REAL ID, one must go in person to the DMV with proof identity and proof of residency. There is no additional fee. There is a $30 fee to get an enhanced license, which can be used in lieu of a passport to enter Canada, Mexico and some Caribbean countries by land or sea.

Updated 3/29: NYS Pause in Effect until Wednesday April 15The Governor's 10-point NYS on PAUSE plan is as follows:

The measure requires this group of New Yorkers to stay home and limit home visitation to immediate family members or close friends in need of emergency assistance.

Both individuals should wear a mask for the duration of the visit. CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS

As of March 16, per the CDC: “Large events and mass gatherings can contribute to the spread of COVID-19 in the United States via travelers who attend these events and introduce the virus to new communities," the CDC said in a statement Sunday night, March 15. "Examples of large events and mass gatherings include conferences, festivals, parades, concerts, sporting events, weddings, and other types of assemblies. "These events can be planned not only by organizations and communities but also by individuals. "Therefore, CDC, in accordance with its guidance for large events and mass gatherings, recommends that for the next eight weeks, organizers (whether groups or individuals) cancel or postpone in-person events that consist of 50 people or more throughout the United States. “Events of any size should only be continued if they can be carried out with adherence to guidelines for protecting vulnerable populations, hand hygiene, and social distancing. When feasible, organizers could modify events to be virtual." Source: Daily Voice NY, NJ & CT governors also announced restaurants and bars will close for on premise service and move to take-out and delivery services only. These establishments will be provided a waiver for carry-out alcohol. These measures will take effect at 8 p.m. Monday.
The governors said they will temporarily close movie theaters, gyms and casinos, effective at 8 p.m. tonight. This uniform approach to social distancing is meant to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19.

UPDATE 3/1: 1 Confirmed Case in NYC UPDATE 2/28: NEW YORK (WABC) -- New York City is monitoring one person for the novel coronavirus, according to the health commissioner, while New York state is planning to implement its own testing rather than relying on the CDC. Results are pending for the individual, who is under the age of 50 and has respiratory symptoms after recently traveling to Italy. REPORTED 2/7: There continue to be no confirmed cases of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus in New York state at this time. While this is reassuring, it is important to recognize that we are still in the midst of cold and flu season. CDC reports that influenza activity is, and will remain, high for the next several weeks. There are also steps that all members of the community can take to protect against the flu, coronavirus and other respiratory illnesses, including washing your hands, avoiding close contact with people who are sick, and disinfecting your personal items, such as laptops and cell phones.
This is an emerging, rapidly evolving situation and CDC will provide updated information as it becomes available, in addition to updated guidance.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have issued recent updates on precautions that local communities can take in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19). By practicing healthy habits, you can protect yourself and those around you. The CDC recommends the following:
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer made with at least 60% alcohol. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. • Stay home when you are sick. • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash. • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. • CDC does not recommend for people that well to wear face masks to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19. Face masks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the virus to others. The use of face masks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility). Individuals who are experiencing symptoms and may have traveled to areas of concern or have been in contact with persons who have traveled to these areas or believe they have been exposed to the virus should call ahead to their healthcare provider before presenting for treatment. New York State Department of Health has set up a web page https://www.health.ny.gov/diseases/communicable/coronavirus/ as well as a Hotline Phone Numbers to call for more information: • People under self-quarantine or exposure to known case, call (866) 588-0195 • NYS Department of Health COVID-19 Hotline (888) 364-3065 • Westchester County COVID-19 Information dial 211 from your mobile If you are interested in additional information about COVID-19, the resources listed below may be of some assistance: New York City Department of Health information on Coronavirus New York State Department of Health information on Coronavirus CDC Prevention Tools and Resources UPDATED 3/17/2020: ORIGINAL POST 3/10/2020: Summer Camp Employment
