Hospitals can’t discharge coronavirus patients to nursing homes: Gov. Cuomo

Patients in New York hospitals must now test negative for the coronavirus before they can be discharged to nursing homes, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Sunday — partially reversing a policy that forced sickened seniors into facilities housing those most vulnerable.

“We’re just not going to send a person who is positive to a nursing home after a hospital visit,” said Cuomo during an Albany press briefing. “Period.”

The ruling partially overrides a controversial March 25 order that nursing homes cannot deny admission or readmission on the basis of a positive or suspected COVID-19 case.

Why did it take so long to stop positive staff from working in their facilities...?

After how many months and how many deaths?

Cuomo has officially killed more people than the 9/11 hijackers

Covidictator Cuomo telling us that most of NYC's Covid-19 came from their homes.

“If you notice, 18% of the people came from nursing homes, less than 1% came from jail or prison, 2% came from the homeless population, 2% from other congregate facilities, but 66% of the people were at home, which is shocking to us,” Cuomo said.

“This is a surprise: Overwhelmingly, the people were at home,” he added. “We thought maybe they were taking public transportation, and we’ve taken special precautions on public transportation, but actually no, because these people were literally at home.”

Cuomo said nearly 84% of the hospitalized cases were people who were not commuting to work through car services, personal cars, public transit or walking. He said a majority of those people were either retired or unemployed. Overall, some 73% of the admissions were people over age 51.

He said the information shows that those who are hospitalized are predominantly from the downstate area in or around New York City, are not working or traveling and are not essential employees. He also said, a majority of the cases in New York City are minorities, with nearly half being African American or Hispanic.

I bet the federal money was much better keeping them in the hospital rather than transfer to a nursing home.

“””Why? It was good policy last month. Why change now? Why did it take so long to change?”””

---

Cuomo has killed off most of the weak and frail in NY nursing homes so now is the time to do something different.

Now he will keep them in the hospital where they can infect others.

Given the gross mismanagement by Cuomo and Deblasio and their underlings I would not want to go into a NY hospital for any sort of elective surgery.

We nvr did here in what would the elites would think was hick Arkansas. We also knew it was the subway and homeless as well

exactly- He got caught! He was almost assuredly doing it to inflate the numbers of virus deaths to plead and grovel for more federal $$, and he got caught- This was likely the bottom line- he got away with it for as long as he could- now he’s reversing course after getting caught, and the msm will refuse to hold him accountable!

Absolutely sickening! He also likely withholds HCQ in the early stages, knowing full well no doubt, that it is saving lives all around the world- Why? Likely so he can inflate the death numbers higher and higher to get more federal aid and $$- all because of his hatred of anything Trump-

Well, the horses left last month and it doesn’t look like they’re coming back. Might as well close the barns doors.

[Bob434]

[[will the media now attack him like they do with Trump]]

No- they will likely attack the President for not suggesting that NY not send them there-

[fella]

This was premeditated “Generation-cide” aimed directly at “The Greatest Generation” it easily raises to the “Crimes Against Humanity” level.

[Bob434]

infection nursing home folks would send those folks to the hospitals- it’s a numbers game- 1-2 infected people sent to a nursing home infects 1/2 the folks there- they all wind up in hospital

[Sarah Barracuda]

oh how nice of Cuomo it only took over 10,000 dead elderly folks for him to finally wake up

Patients in New York hospitals must now test negative for the coronavirus before they can be discharged to nursing homes,

That way they are likely to end up testing positive.

[caltaxed]

Thats a shame, it looks like they have lots of room now.

The families need to band together and do a class action law suit even if the best they can is knock some of the luster off Prince Andrew.

The Cuomos are SLOW.
