(Warwick, RI)--The Rhode Island Health Care Association wants the state to start requiring double-negative COVID-19 tests for hospital patients who go to nursing homes.The group representing nursing homes says the state dropped the requirement down to one negative test over the summer, putting residents and staff at risk.The nursing home association says it disagrees with the state's position that a second test is unnecessary since someone coming from a hospital would have to quarantine for two weeks.
