NY Coronavirus: Elective Surgeries Returning To Some Hospitals (Patch)
Gov. Andrew Cuomo to allow elective surgeries to return to hospitals in places where the new coronavirus risk is low.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday said he would allow elective surgeries to return to hospitals in places where the new coronavirus risk is low as the state continued to see the number of coronavirus-related deaths and hospitalizations fall. Hospitals will be able to resume performing elective outpatient treatments on April 28 if hospital capacity stays over 25 percent for the county and as long as there have been fewer than 10 new hospitalizations in the county over the past 10 days, Cuomo's office said. Moreover, patients must test negative for the COVID-19 disease prior to any elective outpatient treatment.
