Governor Murphy EO103 - Here is Commissioner of Health Judith Persichilli March 31, 2020 death sentence letter forcing nursing homes to accept patients without testing based on here authority from EO 103. "No patient/resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the post-acute care setting solely based on a confirmed diagnosis of Covid-19. Persons under investigation for COVID-19 who have undergone testing in the hospital shall not be discharged until results are available. Post-acute care facilities are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized patient/resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission"
Nursing home management actually begged these governor to not force them to take patients while at the same time forbidding testing of the new patients. Nursing homes are not hospitals. They don't have adequate trained doctors and staff, they didn't have PPP supplies, don't have the ability to safely quarantine and no clue how to manage the patient once infected. Cuomo demanded way too many ventilators and refused to use the hospital ship or Javits Center which was set up as hospital. Why? Because Cuomo didn't want the Trump administration to get any credit. Twisted political scum.
