I agree with the findings and the Plan of Care as documented in the resident's note.  Patient was discharged on Friday after hospitalization for acute limb ischemia.  He began having diarrhea at the care facility and COVID-19 testing was performed which was positive for COVID-19.  That facility has no isolation rooms and therefore the patient was transferred back to the emergency department as he would need to be admitted to a different facility.  There is no concern for vascular insufficiency but given that our hospitalist team was overwhelmed last evening and the patient was known to our service, we admitted the patient to help expedite care and will plan to transfer the patient wants a new facility is identified.
