Kathy Hochul signed an executive order Friday to postpone elective hospital surgeries something that hasnt been done since the worst of the initial coronavirus outbreak last year. Hochul said she made the move to deal with staffing shortages and boost bed capacity amid an anticipated spike in new cases and the emergence of the new Omicron variant in South Africa. The strain is named after a letter of the Greek alphabet. Weve taken extraordinary action to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and combat this pandemic. However, we continue to see warning signs of spikes this upcoming winter, and while the new Omicron variant has yet to be detected in New York State, its coming, Hochul said. In preparation, I am announcing urgent steps today to expand hospital capacity and help ensure our hospital systems can tackle any challenges posed by the pandemic as we head into the winter months. The vaccine remains one of our greatest weapons in fighting the pandemic, and I encourage every New Yorker to get vaccinated, and get the booster if youre fully vaccinated. The edict curbing non-essential surgeries will kick in for hospitals with a limited capacity defined as at or below 10 percent of available staffed bed capacity. The new protocols will take effect on Friday, Dec. 3, and will be re-evaluated based on the latest COVID-19 data on Jan. 15. The executive order will also enable the state to more quickly any critical supplies to combat the pandemic, she said. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:960384487] in New York G...
