“The internationally-recognized medical standard for quarantine against COVID-19 is 14 days which, once carried out in China, brought dramatic results,” said Pat Kane, NYSNA’s executive director. “By imposing a seven-day standard, or 72 hours without fever, whichever is less, hospitals are cutting the requirement in half, or even less. We implore the hospitals to stop this perilous practice and do their part in fighting the virus.”
