NASSAU COUNTY, NY As coronavirus cases continue to climb across the area, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran announced today that the county would be reinstating protocols it used at the height of the pandemic to limit who can take an ambulance.
The pandemic triage protocols, as they are known, are designed to keep ambulances available for emergencies as coronavirus cases soar. Those who are calling for an ambulance to take them to a hospital because of the coronavirus will be screened. If they have only mild symptoms, they will not be able to take the ambulance.
