Dear Syag,
The issue here is, does the hospital have to make sure they are negative before they send them back. The nursing home can lose funding from the Cares Act if they deny patients. The CDC still maintains that there is no need to test patients before sending them to nursing homes. That is what New York followed until May 10. Virginia is still not testing residents being discharged back to nursing homes. Though Florida required two negative tests before being allowed back. You were right about that one. I will let you know if I find what else they do.
