 PRIORITY:
Protecting nursing home
residents and seniors.
 Nursing Homes

Last week, we required nursing home

staff be tested twice per week.
 Nursing Homes

To help nursing homes meet this requirement,

New York State is connecting facilities with labs
that have reserved
at least 35,000 tests/day just for this purpose.
 Nursing Homes

To start, we are also sending

320,000 test kits
to nursing homes statewide this week.

STAY HOME. STOP THE SPREAD. SAVE LIVES.

 Nursing Homes

I know the nursing home precautions

STAY HOME. STOP THE SPREAD. SAVE LIVES.
