First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and humid. High: 87 low: 68.

Here are the top 3 stories today in Sachem:

  1. New York State officially ends COVID-19 school quarantine rules. Students will no longer have to quarantine if they are exposed to COVID-19 in their classroom, according to Gov. Kathy Hochul. "The days of sending an entire classroom because one person was symptomatic or tests positive, those days are over," said Hochul. (Yahoo News)
