Five Northwell nurses have volunteered to travel to Houston, in response to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s appeal for health care workers to provide assistance to other cities and states currently battling an uptick in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases.
The deployed nurses have been tasked with setting up satellite testing sites in underserved communities, as well as registering and swabbing those who come for testing. Most importantly, they are providing education about the importance of wearing masks; quarantining if symptomatic or testing positive; hand hygiene; and social distancing.
