If they're using PPE, what's the risk? By this logic, all elderly should be put in sterilized bubbles

From a company standpoint it seems you're putting yourself at risk of a lawsuit big time.
I'm talking about the nursing home and dealing with patients not the firing of therapist etc.

For requiring people to do their essential jobs?

Are you being this dim to just get a rise out of people? I'm talking about nursing home I as I said in the previous post, not the actual therapist getting sued.
Patients suing the nursing home for contracting the virus or being put at risk because they did not keep someone who they know possibly has it from treating them.
The people deeming it essential are also making money off of the therapy from insurance, that would be considered a conflict of interests I would think.

Look at it this way
If my family member was in there for rehab due to broken hip I would want their prescribed therapy being done so I could get them the hell out of there ASAP
Again, she needs to talk to the patients Dr or head nurse to see if the therapy can be halted
If not it is the nursing homes responsibility to provide the therapy

I could think of a few ways this could become federak mattet as well given the status of a state of emergency and DoL as well as HHS guidelines, etc. If I were advising the nursing home I would tell them to tell her to get tested and only come back if you came up negative.
Too much potential liability. I can guess who the home is run by.

Thank you, all your answers have been very informative.

Do not do this and it certainly isn’t legal advice but I wonder what the families of residents would do if they got an anonymous letter telling them a staff member at the nursing home has been exposed and management is mandating she continues to come into work

If she was following PPE protocol, how was she exposed? At best, you're suggesting he tell the world his wife can't do her job right

Using the broken hip example, a situation where therapy is done on a routine basis, the nursing home and doctors are going to continue with the prescribed therapy.
If the nursing home, therapist, or doctor decides they think the therapy is not necessary then they are putting themselves at risk for being named in a lawsuit by the pt.

I wouldn't care who is making money off it, I would only care that the therapy is being done

Pretty much all nursing home staff has been exposed
If they sent everyone home that was exposed they wouldn’t have any employees left
This is why some are only doing temp checks on the staff, if they tested they couldn’t afford to lose the asymptomatic positives
The wife could go get tested on her own & if positive she would have a point, by just being exposed she doesn’t

Go read up on other hospitals or nursing homes that have a lot of cases. Doctors and nurses still contracted the virus even while using PPE. PPE is meant as a last line of defense, it is not a silver bullet cure all.

You can link me to a story of someone doing everything right and still getting the virus. Even if it exist, it would be such a statistically insignificant example, that it is still irrelevant.

Can they prove that they contracted it at the hospital while using PPE and not on the street somewhere from an asymptomatic person who forgot to cover their mouth when they sneezed?

You are a lawyer. You think that really matters? Just look at those dumbass juries in the monsanto cases.

And yes there is ways to know down where someone contract a virus. Will you had the do the spiderweb chain with personnel at my work. And there's a technical term for it I can't remember but it's how they figure out who patient 0 is on all these outbreaks.

If Louisiana is like Mississippi, then her employer can fire her for any reason or for no reason at all, so long as she wasn't fired on a discriminatory basis due to her sex, race, religion, etc.
