Two county sheriffs in New York state said they won’t enforce Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s 10-person indoor limit during holiday gatherings.

Fulton County Sheriff Richard Giardino, in a Facebook post, said that a governor’s executive order directed at citizens for private conduct isn’t typically a law with penalties. While he said the order applying to businesses can be enforced, he said the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office won’t enforce the restriction, and people won’t be arrested for flouting the rules.
