Clarification: Executive Order 202.100

Governor Andrew Cuomo signed Executive Order (EO) 202.100 which is effective through April 30, 2021. This EO continues the suspensions and modifications of law made by EO 202, with the exception to temporarily suspend or modify any statute, local law, ordinance, order, rule, or regulation, or parts thereof, of any agency during a State disaster emergency, if compliance with such would prevent, hinder, or delay action necessary to assist or aid in coping with such disaster. 

In addition to requiring the nursing home operators or administrators to certify that they are able to properly care for a patient and obtain a negative COVID-19 diagnostic test result prior to discharge from the hospital, it further requires 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.

Please see attached Executive Order and Guidance that was sent to hospitals regarding Vaccinating Long-Term Care Patients Before Discharge to a Long-Term Care Facility.
