He said that New York had the 34th highest level of nursing home deaths as a percentage of residents, but noted that nursing homes were "ground zero" for outbreaks and contained the most vulnerable population at his daily briefing on Sunday.
By the same token, nursing homes will not be allowed to care for people with the disease unless they can meet certain safety requirements outlined by the state. Workers at homes, for instance, now have to be tested twice per week, Cuomo said. They also have to wear personal protective equipment like masks and gloves when interacting with residents suspected to have COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. Visits from family members are also banned unless someone is dying.
If nursing homes can't sustain the new criteria — like if they lack quarantine abilities or equipment — they need to contact the New York's health department for the residents' transfer, Cuomo said.
Cuomo you are the man. Your unnoticed actions in the US, is seen by us in Africa. You work tirelessly. Bravo Cuomo
