A New York State appeals court panel has reinstated a potentially Draconian public health regulation promulgated by Governor Kathy Holchul’s administration. The regulation, known as 10 NYCRR 2.13 — or Rule 2.13, established isolation and quarantine procedures for those who are suspected of having a communicable disease. It was adopted as an emergency measure on February 22, 2022, and remained in force until a state Supreme Court judge struck it down in July 2022.
