Operative words

'non-essential procedure' means a medical or dental procedure that is not necessary to address a medical emergency or to preserve the health and safety of a patient, as determined by a licensed medical provider.

Notes

Joint replacement, bariatric and cosmetic surgery postponed at a minimum; dental facilities within 'covered facilities'; EO 2020-96 announced the rescission effective May 29, 2020.
