NEW DIRECTIVE
- The directive contained in Executive Order 202.30, as extended and modified, which required that nursing home operators or administrators certify that they are able to properly care for a patient, and which required that the article 28 general hospital obtain a negative COVID-19 diagnostic test result prior to discharge, is further modified and extended to provide that no Article 28 general hospital shall discharge a patient to a nursing home, without first offering to medically eligible patients and, if the patient consents, providing a COVID-19 vaccine to such patient.
