While we cannot comment on the circumstances surrounding specific patients, we are concerned about inaccurate media accounts over the last two days concerning COVID-19 patients recently treated at Maimonides. After carefully reviewing relevant records, we can confirm that these accounts are not correct.

During this period, we continue to work closely with city and state officials and local community organizations to reinforce the critical importance of face coverings, hand hygiene and social distancing to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
