After a month working at New York City hospitals, Cayuga Medical Center doctors, nurses and staff have come home, back to Ithaca.
As many people yearn to return to some form of normalcy, states are beginning to consider what the reopening of nonessential businesses should look like. In his daily press briefing Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.) said a crucial first step for reopening is widespread COVID-19 testing — which New York State currently lacks.
On that same day, Dr. Augustine M.K. Choi, Weill Cornell Dean, announced a new initiative to begin antibody testing employees of Weill Cornell.
As New York City continues to face shortage of medical professionals in its fight against COVID-19, the Cayuga Health System is sending two buses full of doctors, nurses and staff to New York Presbyterian Hospital.
