7. Nope, they weren't screening.

They reversed the policy recently, but originally they required nursing homes to take in patients even if those patients had covid.
"New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo unveiled a requirement for hospital patients to test negative for the coronavirus before they can be discharged to nursing homes, effectively reversing a much-criticized state policy that required long-term care facilities to accept recovering patients who may still test positive for COVID-19."
