SUBJECT: Authorization to Transport Patients to Alternate Destinations
Dear Dr. Sporer:
The alternate destinations and care sites listed in your application received on March
27, 2020, are hereby approved for use and transport to by all levels of EMS personnel.
A printout of the list of approved destinations has been attached.
Approval of the alternate destinations listed in your request will be considered an
amendment of your most recently approved EMS plan.
Transport data shall be submitted to EMSA monthly showing the number of patients
transported to the alternate destinations including the patient's primary impression.
Your request is authorized as a result of the state of emergency declared for the
COVID-19 outbreak on March 4, 2020, by Governor Gavin Newsom. The authority
granted in the Executive Order subsection 13, concerning the preparation and response
of COVID-19 allows me to approve alternate care sites and destinations.
This authorization will commence immediately and continue until the state of emergency
