As Florida becomes the new epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S., the state is trying to ensure that nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities aren't quickly overwhelmed by patients still suffering from the disease. So far, it has dedicated 11 facilities solely to COVID patients who need post-acute or long-term care: those who can't be isolated at their current facilities, as well as those who've gotten over the worst of their illness and who can be moved to free up hospital beds for the flow of new patients.
