Gov. Ned Lamont has signed an executive order establishing COVID-19 recovery centers for nursing home residents.

The order implements the Medical Surge Plan for long-term care facilities he announced on Wednesday.

The plan establishes COVID-19 recovery centers in certain nursing homes throughout the state that will take patients who can be discharged from acute care hospitals, but are still impacted by COVID-19 infection.

The first two recovery centers will be at Sharon Health Care Center in Sharon and Northbridge Healthcare Center in Bridgeport.

More centers will be created if needed.
