Come to find out the quote from the article was incomplete. It did not quote the entire executive order. And it appears to still be possible for someone who actually has the virus in NY to be treated with this drug per FDA guidelines.

I thought that maybe the same miss-characterization may be occurring here with Nevada, but their website has not been updated with any recent executive orders. So I can’t check.

It either needs to be an FDA-approved indication (not off label), or it needs to be part of a state approved clinical trial.

(excerpt)

No pharmacist shall dispense hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine except when written as prescribed for an FDA-approved indication; or as part of a state approved clinical trial related to COVID-19 for a patient who has tested positive for COVID-19, with such test result documented as part of the prescription. No other experimental or prophylactic use shall be permitted, and any permitted prescription is limited to one fourteen day prescription with no refills.

Even though the FDA has approved it for off label use, the governor is telling doctors that they can't prescribe the drug outside of a Cuomo approved clinical study.

Dirtbag Cuomo knows better than the FDA and your doctor.
