I’m under the impression that people were supposed to be allowed to return to their nursing homes, from where they left. After they left the hospital they needed somewhere to go. Otherwise, they would be homeless. If nursing homes couldn’t safely take recovering patients back then people were in danger before these people left for the hospital. I also imagine there were COVID patients in the homes who didn’t need to go to a hospital
