We’re doing elective procedures as to Covid positive I don’t know. I tested Covid positive asymptomatic three months ago. I was made to stay home for a week and then I was allowed to return. I work in the ER. We’ve seen a significant decrease in new Covid cases.
In general hospitals require a negative PCR test before they'll admit for elective procedures. It only makes sense.
That's why I laugh at the people who say the rise in Covid hospitalizations is due to Covid-positive patients in the hospital for other reasons.
ER visits are different but they don't count as admissions.
