“CDC guidelines require any newly admitted and readmitted resident with a COVID-19 case to be placed in a designated COVID-19 care unit, while those who have met the criteria to have recovered can return to a regular unit in the nursing home.
The March 13 guidance that Cuomo’s office cited says “a nursing home can accept a resident diagnosed with COVID-19... as long as the facility can follow CDC guidance.”
New York – along with California and New Jersey – went further and turned the guidance into state directives and said at the time that nursing homes cannot refuse to take patients from hospitals solely because they have the coronavirus.”

Pennsylvania should be added to that list.
As of Friday 69% of COVID deaths in PA were in nursing homes.
