New York Mandates Nursing Homes Take Covid-19 Patients Discharged From HospitalsState cites urgent need to expand hospital capacity; doctors group says decision ‘represents a clear and present danger to all of the residents of a nursing home.’
Doctors tested hospital staff with flu-like symptoms for coronavirus in tents to triage possible Covid-19 patients outside before they enter the main emergency department area at St. Barnabas hospital in the Bronx.
New York told nursing-home operators that they will be required to accept patients infected with the new coronavirus who are discharged from hospitals but may be still convalescing, amid more cases in the state that are straining the health-care system.

@eladar saidIt does seem pretty unbelievable given the demographic. They should be quarantined for some time, but I suppose the answer is where?
