(b) For a deficiency with a combined severity and scope score of six or more, regardless of the nature of the deficiency.

4. Any limitation on the number of children to whom a facility may provide care imposed pursuant to this section:

(a) Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b), must be imposed for not less than 72 hours.

(b) Must be terminated if the facility demonstrates that substantial improvements have been made to correct the deficiencies and that the health, safety and well-being of children are adequately safeguarded.
