When should nursing homes consider transferring a resident with suspected or confirmed infection with COVID-19 to a hospital? Nursing homes with residents suspected of having COVID-19 infection should contact their local health department. Residents infected with COVID-19 may vary in severity from lack of symptoms to mild or severe symptoms or fatality. Initially, symptoms may be mild and not require transfer to a hospital as long as the facility can follow the infection prevention and control practices recommended by CDC. Facilities without an airborne infection isolation room (AIIR) are not required to transfer the resident assuming: 1) the resident does not require a higher level of care and 2) the facility can adhere to the rest of the infection prevention and control practices recommended for caring for a resident with COVID-19. Please check the following link regularly for critical updates, such as updates to guidance for using PPE: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/infection-control/controlrecommendations.html. The resident may develop more severe symptoms and require transfer to a hospital for a higher level of care. Prior to transfer, emergency medical services and the receiving facility should be alerted to the resident’s diagnosis, and precautions to be taken including placing a facemask on the resident during transfer. If the resident does not require hospitalization they can be discharged to home (in consultation with state or local public health authorities) if deemed medically and socially appropriate. Pending transfer or discharge, place a facemask on the resident and isolate him/her in a room with the door closed.
When should a nursing home accept a resident who was diagnosed with COVID-19 from a hospital? A nursing home can accept a resident diagnosed with COVID-19 and still under TransmissionBased Precautions for COVID-19 as long as the facility can follow CDC guidance for Transmission-Based Precautions. If a nursing home cannot, it must wait until these precautions are discontinued. CDC has released Interim Guidance for Discontinuing Transmission-Based Precautions or In-Home Isolation for Persons with Laboratory-confirmed COVID-19. Information on the duration of infectivity is limited, and the interim guidance has been
developed with available information from similar coronaviruses. CDC states that decisions to discontinue Transmission-based Precautions in hospitals will be made on a case-by-case basis in consultation with clinicians, infection prevention and control specialists, and public health officials. Discontinuation will be based on multiple factors (see current CDC guidance for further details).
Note: 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. Also, if possible, dedicate a unit/wing exclusively for any residents coming or returning from the hospital. This can serve as a step-down unit where they remain for 14 days with no symptoms (instead of integrating as usual on short-term rehab floor, or returning to long-stay original room).

So trump, not cuomo put covid patients in nursing homes? 40% of our deaths are from nursing homes democrat scum governors drunk on power caused.
You can't blame trump and give them a pass, that's partisan bullshit.

While I agree with you of trump's culpability for the extent of the effects of the pandemic on our country. It does not let people like Cuomo off the hook. The basic idea of sending recovering, infected people to convalesce with our already sick and aged, is ludicrous at best. Trump's great sin is playing the pandemic down with lies and rosy predictions and hair brained cures or treatment, so that his own base did not take it serious. If 39% of the country think it is or might be a hoax for political benefit, you will not find enough consistent support for the discipline necessary to combat it.March 13, 2020

Actually , President Trump sailed a hospital ship into New York harbor, refitted the Javits Convention Center as a hospital and got friends of his like Rev. Franklin Graham to build field hospitals in Central Park.
There was no reason to infect nursing home patients
Long term nursing homes who could not follow the CDC Guidelines for the return of recovering covid residents, were not suppose to take them back....and notify their State Health department of their situation.Those hospitals were NOT designated to HOLD Corona virus patients, they were designated to TREAT corona virus patients.March 13, 2020

There were all these temporary hospitals going up, that could have accommodated these people. They were designed to hold COVID cases. They largely went unused.
it's amazing how politics make someone defend the indefensible.
I am not saying Cuomo and the others are criminal in this, I am saying they fucked up.
The patients returned to their nursing home, were patients who had been treated for corona virus, and no longer needed hospital care because they were healing and doing much better and no longer needed hospital care.
They were empty. They could have been used, and they could have been modified easily for separation, as they were open facilities in large spaces. They were far better choices than long term care homes not designed or equipped for isolation protocols. This was at the start of all this, when testing was slow and often not correct.
They were returned unknowing of their level of contagion, and were returned under a law designed for normal times, to prevent nursing homes from getting rid of high cost patients.
The CDC guidelines were to have a separate isolation ward for them, have a separate entrance for them, with an isolated staff, that did not work in the general population for regular nursing home patients.
They were discharged because they were LESS SICK than the hordes of MORE SICK people pouring into the hospitals. They were clearly still contagious because they ended up killing many thousands. The hospital ship and the temporary hospitals were the obvious solution. But for some bizarre still unknown reason Cuomo refused to utilize those resources and as a direct result many thousands died. President Trump provided all those resources to Cuomo but he squandered them and sent infected into the nursing homes just like China knowingly allowed infected persons to enter our country.Those hospitals were NOT designated to HOLD Corona virus patients, they were designated to TREAT corona virus patients.March 13, 2020

The entire CDC Guidelines was for nursing home residents returned from the hospital, with still not testing negative from the virus.... so still with Covid.....
Nursing homes were to take these residents in to an isolation ward, NOT THE GENERAL POPULATION, of the Nursing home...and not in to their Rehab wards either.... but an isolation ward....with a separate staff not crossing over with non infected residents.
They are NOT the cause of nursing home spread.... even though initially we thought they could be....
The nursing home corona virus spread is coming in to the home via their staff, then spread in the homes to their residents by their staff.
You want to start with BIDEN, Pelosie, Cuomo, DeBlaiso and every democrat in congress first... Trump was shutting travle down as these people called him a racists and a xenophobe... You guys have real short memories..Trump's great sin is playing the pandemic down

When should nursing homes consider transferring a resident with suspected or confirmed infection with COVID-19 to a hospital? Nursing homes with residents suspected of having COVID-19 infection should contact their local health department. Residents infected with COVID-19 may vary in severity from lack of symptoms to mild or severe symptoms or fatality. Initially, symptoms may be mild and not require transfer to a hospital as long as the facility can follow the infection prevention and control practices recommended by CDC. Facilities without an airborne infection isolation room (AIIR) are not required to transfer the resident assuming: 1) the resident does not require a higher level of care and 2) the facility can adhere to the rest of the infection prevention and control practices recommended for caring for a resident with COVID-19. Please check the following link regularly for critical updates, such as updates to guidance for using PPE: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/infection-control/controlrecommendations.html. The resident may develop more severe symptoms and require transfer to a hospital for a higher level of care. Prior to transfer, emergency medical services and the receiving facility should be alerted to the resident’s diagnosis, and precautions to be taken including placing a facemask on the resident during transfer. If the resident does not require hospitalization they can be discharged to home (in consultation with state or local public health authorities) if deemed medically and socially appropriate. Pending transfer or discharge, place a facemask on the resident and isolate him/her in a room with the door closed.
When should a nursing home accept a resident who was diagnosed with COVID-19 from a hospital? A nursing home can accept a resident diagnosed with COVID-19 and still under TransmissionBased Precautions for COVID-19 as long as the facility can follow CDC guidance for Transmission-Based Precautions. If a nursing home cannot, it must wait until these precautions are discontinued. CDC has released Interim Guidance for Discontinuing Transmission-Based Precautions or In-Home Isolation for Persons with Laboratory-confirmed COVID-19. Information on the duration of infectivity is limited, and the interim guidance has been
developed with available information from similar coronaviruses. CDC states that decisions to discontinue Transmission-based Precautions in hospitals will be made on a case-by-case basis in consultation with clinicians, infection prevention and control specialists, and public health officials. Discontinuation will be based on multiple factors (see current CDC guidance for further details).
Note: 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. Also, if possible, dedicate a unit/wing exclusively for any residents coming or returning from the hospital. This can serve as a step-down unit where they remain for 14 days with no symptoms (instead of integrating as usual on short-term rehab floor, or returning to long-stay original room).
Tell me again who was telling everyone to come on out and party at the nations Chinese New Year celebrations AFTER TRUMP HAD STOPPED ALL TRAVEL FROM THERE AND EUROPE?
TEll me again who was claiming the NY was impregnable and was so well prepared that COVID-19 was not a threat?
Once you done spinning those lies from YOUR ROYALTY... tell me why we should not hold them responsible for the stupidity and DEATH THEY CAUSED...
IF you look at Cuomo's state nursing home standards they are not required to have isolation areas that are negative pressure. It in fact states, these patients are to be housed in HOSPITALS with appropriate facilities to care for these patients.Nursing Homes do not have "Isolation Wards".Yes, they knew they had still not completely shed themselves from the virus, just like all the other patients released from the hospital after they got better and did not need a doctor or nurse or breathing equipment anymore.They were discharged because they were LESS SICK than the hordes of MORE SICK people pouring into the hospitals. They were clearly still contagious because they ended up killing many thousands. The hospital ship and the temporary hospitals were the obvious solution. But for some bizarre still unknown reason Cuomo refused to utilize those resources and as a direct result many thousands died. President Trump provided all those resources to Cuomo but he squandered them and sent infected into the nursing homes just like China knowingly allowed infected persons to enter our country.Those hospitals were NOT designated to HOLD Corona virus patients, they were designated to TREAT corona virus patients.March 13, 2020

There were all these temporary hospitals going up, that could have accommodated these people. They were designed to hold COVID cases. They largely went unused.
it's amazing how politics make someone defend the indefensible.
I am not saying Cuomo and the others are criminal in this, I am saying they fucked up.
The patients returned to their nursing home, were patients who had been treated for corona virus, and no longer needed hospital care because they were healing and doing much better and no longer needed hospital care.
The entire CDC Guidelines was for nursing home residents returned from the hospital, with still not testing negative from the virus.... so still with Covid.....
Nursing homes were to take these residents in to an isolation ward, NOT THE GENERAL POPULATION, of the Nursing home...and not in to their Rehab wards either.... but an isolation ward....with a separate staff not crossing over with non infected residents.
They are NOT the cause of nursing home spread.... even though initially we thought they could be....

So trump, not cuomo put covid patients in nursing homes? 40% of our deaths are from nursing homes democrat scum governors drunk on power caused.
You can't blame trump and give them a pass, that's partisan bullshit.
Come on....NYC is a slum and NY an illegal sanctuary state that Killer Cuomo misled into 34,000 deaths. Make all the excuses you want....8% mortality rates for NY and NJ are horrific, nothing like the 1.8% rates in Florida or Texas or any of the states with increased cases now.

Most of the people who died the virus came from Europe and it spread in NY city, and tramp did shut European travel down March 29th(except Britain) and the new book Rage he knew it was deadly.
