State Senator Lucido calls for investigation in Governor Whitmer‘s nursing home orders

(19.05.2020)

The Macomb County republican says Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s executive order required all long-term care facilities at less than 80% capacity to create COVID19 units and accept patients. Now he’s asking Michigan’s Attorney General and the U.S. Attorney for Michigan’s Eastern District to investigate whether that endangered nursing home residents.

“Why did we have this order, when medical personnel themselves are saying that the most unsafe position you could put the ones who are vulnerable in is bringing COVID into the facility,” said Lucido.

Peter Lucido wants investigation into Whitmer‘s orders to place COVID-19 patients in nursing homes

(20.05.2020)

The Macomb County lawmaker on Monday called for the probe into the governor‘s Executive Orders 2020-50 and 2020-84, which mandate all long-term facilities in the state at less than 80% capacity to create COVID-19 units and accept and retain patients diagnosed with the new coronavirus.

„Why would we bring infected people into a facility that is set up to care for the elderly,“ Lucido said Tuesday. „Nursing homes were never set up to care for COVID-19 patients. Nursing homes don‘t have the proper medical equipment, ventilators, or medical personnel to care for them.“
