According to Cuomo aid Melissa DeRosa, the guideline said:
“Nursing homes should admit any individuals ... from hospitals where a case of COVID-19 was/is present.”
She neglected to say that she was excerpting from the full statement:
“Nursing homes should admit any individuals that they would normally admit to their facility, including individuals from hospitals where a case of COVID-19 was/is present.”
Medicare and Medicaid changed their regs in early March to allow nursing homes to refuse.
Why did Cuomo ignore that?
