 Nursing Homes

Protecting nursing homes is our

number one priority.
 Reinforcing New York State Nursing Homes
By law and regulation, nursing homes MUST:
1. Require PPE as well as temperature checks for staff
2. Isolate COVID residents in quarantine
3. Separate staff, transfer COVID residents within a facility, to another
long-term care facility, or to another non-certified location
4. Notify all residents and their family members within 24 hours if any
resident tests positive for COVID or any resident suffers a COVID
related death
5. Readmit COVID positive residents ONLY if they have the ability to
provide adequate level of care under DOH and CDC guidance
Reinforcing New York State Nursing Homes
The State Department of Health is partnering with
Attorney General Letitia James to investigate violations of
Executive Orders requiring communication with families
on COVID-19 test results and deaths.
 Reinforcing New York State Nursing Homes
• Today, we are directing nursing homes to immediately report to
DOH actions that they have taken to comply with all DOH and
CDC directives.
• DOH will inspect the facilities that have not complied with the
DOH and CDC directives, including separation policies,
staffing policies, and inadequate PPE.
• If DOH determines that the facilities failed to comply with
directives and guidance, DOH will immediately require the
facility to submit an action plan, and facilities could be fined
$10,000 per violation or potentially lose their operating license.
 Testing

a Test Trace Isolate

antibody can donate for
convalescent plasma
c Inform our reopening strategy

New York:
The largest survey to develop a
baseline of infection rate at
3,000 people
 Antibody Study

Today, we have the preliminary

Phase I results:
• Collected over two days in 19 counties and
40 localities across NYS
• Collected at grocery stores, other box stores

The sample was, by definition, people
who were outside of their home.
If infection rate is 13.9%, the death rate may be lower
than some estimates.
• That means 2.7 million people infected statewide
• That means with approx. 15,500 total fatalities, the
death rate is approximately 0.5% of people
infected
*preliminary data
**without in-home deaths
Supports regional analysis
and decision-making in a
coordinated framework.
Regional Analysis
 We are going to do more
testing in African-American
and Latino communities.
