In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the state of New York enacted measures allowing most employees to receive paid time off using a combination of benefits, such as employer-provided COVID-19 sick leave, Paid Family Leave, and disability benefits.

If you are out with COVID-19 or are caring for ill family members, you might be entitled to paid time off and job protection.  Additional information can be found here.
