Operative words

Healthcare facilities and providers... will be able to resume low-risk, routine-type services which require minimal protective equipment by complying with the requirements listed in this section.... All health care delivered both in and out of healthcare facilities (this includes hospitals, surgical centers, long-term care facilities, clinic and office care, as well as home care) shall deploy universal masking procedures... Regardless of symptoms, all healthcare facilities must screen all patients for recent illness, travel, fever, or recent exposure to COVID-19, and, to the extent that is reasonably possible, begin testing all admitted patients.... Surgeries and intensive procedures are permitted to proceed if delay is deemed to cause impact on health, livelihood, daily activities, or quality of life, if the following conditions are met... Facility must maintain a plan to reduce or stop performing surgeries and procedures permitted by Section II should a surge or resurgence of COVID-19 cases occur, or a shortage of PPE or testing in their facility or region occur.

Enforcement

Order under the disaster declaration; 'Nothing in this Mandate shall be construed to waive any existing statutory, regulatory, or licensing requirements'
