Coronavirus: Residents being told to work in DIFFERENT specialty

Just got word that residents at my institution (a large academic medical center in NY) across *all* specialties (OB, Peds, Psych, etc.) will be required to staff and work adult medicine floors as expected adult admissions, including to the ICU, increase as more test positive and need hospitalization. Some floors such as Psych may close for the time being as well if needed and instead open admits to adults with the virus. Anyone else hear about this? Is ACGME okay with this? Also saw this...
