No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the NH solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19. NHs are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is
determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission.
Information for healthcare providers on COVID-19 is readily available on the New York State

priority, during this public health emergency.
