<p>In a refrain that seems to be repeating itself as time wears on, long-term care providers will be looking for more federal funding to start flowing next week, as expanded and newly created programs may spring into action, or at least get closer to it.<br></p>



<p>With one eye on the possible ramping up of elective medical procedures and opening of other businesses that would consume resources, post-acute players will continue to press their case for a spot at the front of the line. Supply chain triggers have started to create more personal protective equipment for the pipeline but the full flow is not expected to occur until June, leaving providers in an extremely precarious position for another month or more.<br></p>
