New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is denying that the number of nursing home residents who died of COVID-19 had anything to do with his state policy that ordered adult-care facilities to accept COVID-19-positive patients from hospitals.
On March 25, Cuomo, citing worries of hospitals being overwhelmed, mandated that nursing homes and long-term care facilities take in COVID-19 patients, so long as they were “medically stable.”
