After 60 days of lockdown, Governor Wolf decided it was time to order Covid testing for nursing home residents and staff. He authorized hospitals to discharge Covid positive hospital patients back into nursing homes and they did not have to be separated from the rest of the population. Nursing home deaths make up 70% of the deaths in PA.
Health secretary Dr. Rachel Levine removed her mother from a nursing home after the shutdown order and moved her to the Hershey Hotel.
