The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation also has issued what they call "common sense guidelines to practice safe recreation". According to an email sent today they hope everyone will follow the guidelines for there own safety and to reduce the burden on DEC forest rangers and other first responders, plus help stop the spread.

The NYS DEC has share tips on being outdoor and recreating locally. They encourage peole to get out to help reduce stress, improve your mood and boost the immune system but they want you to keep yourself and other safe.
