Fire and life safety remain a priority and must be addressed even as COVID is being addressed. There is no relaxation of any New York State Fire Code provisions regarding fire drills and occupant alarm response because of COVID.
All required drills need to be completed according to the frequency and timing required by the code. Occupants must use the closet safe exit path in the event of a fire emergency or drill. This requirement will preempt any temporary COVID-related designation of single direction corridors or stairs.
