We live in NY and my husband is currently remodeling a bathroom in a home that no one lives in yet. Because of Covid 19, can he continue to work there even though there is a stay home recommendation? He will be working alone, no crew.

It appears that all New York construction work is considered "essential" and can continue during this coronavirus outbreak, at least for the time being. Levelset discusses this designation here: California, Louisiana, New York: Construction is essential business. Construction Dive also has a great article on the topic, which you can find here: New York: construction can continue.
Keep in mind that things have been changing quickly with COVID-19 regulations and orders, so it's important to be on the lookout for announcements from your local government.
