Coumo ordered that all nursing homes take in covid patients----regardless of them being contagious or not. No separate covid wards needed no extra exits either. NURSING HOMES did the best they could to separate the covid infected-----but that did not the spreading in the nursing homes as Cuomo and the other 4 dem governors intended. Cuomo stood to make millions off killing people trying to justify a bail out by the federal government. He's a psychopath as are you CARE---as you lie with no remorse.
May 10, Cuomo took down the march 25 order.
DATE: March 25, 2020 TO: Nursing Home Administrators, Directors of Nursing, and Hospital Discharge Planners FROM: New York State Department of Health COVID-19 has been detected in multiple communities throughout New York State. There is an urgent need to expand hospital capacity in New York State to be able to meet the demand for patients with COVID-19 requiring acute care. As a result, this directive is being issued to clarify expectations for nursing homes (NHs) receiving residents returning from hospitalization and for NHs accepting new admissions. Hospital discharge planning staff and NHs should carefully review this guidance with all staff directly involved in resident admission, transfer, and discharges. During this global health emergency, all NHs must comply with the expedited receipt of residents returning from hospitals to NHs. Residents are deemed appropriate for return to a NH upon a determination by the hospital physician or designee that the resident is medically stable for return. Hospital discharge planners must confirm to the NH, by telephone, that the resident is medically stable for discharge. Comprehensive discharge instructions must be provided by the hospital prior to the transport of a resident to the NH. No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the NH solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19. NHs are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission. Information for healthcare providers on COVID-19 is readily available on the New York State Department of Health public website at https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/information-healthcareproviders. As always, standard precautions must be maintained, and environmental cleaning made a priority, during this public health emergency. Critical personal protective equipment (PPE) needs should be immediately communicated to your local Office of Emergency Management, with the appropriate information provided at the time of request. Requests MUST include: o Type and quantity of PPE by size; o Point of contact at the requesting facility or system; o Delivery location; o Date request is needed to be filled by; AND o Record of pending orders. Thank you for your ongoing support and cooperation in responding to COVID-19. General questions or comments about this advisory can be sent to [email protected].
