NY matching the Feds with an auto extension til July 15th and no interest for the time from April til the new July due date.
Other states are starting to do this also, so check yours if you’re interested. Or if you’re due a refund, don’t wait and file now!

This means that any individual or corporation that has a quarterly estimated tax payment due on or after April 1, 2020, and before July 15, 2020, can wait until July 15 to make that payment, without penalty.
There is also a bunch of other stuff covered in this official IRS announcement:
Better late than never. IRS finally gets 'round to addressing some matters officially.
