New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was defensive of his state’s handling of nursing home patients during the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic, saying he would “aggressively” take on “lies” as a growing number of officials call for an investigation.
Cuomo, a Democrat, has come under fire from members of his own party in recent weeks over how his administration in March chose to require nursing homes to accept patients recovering from COVID-19. On Friday, Cuomo again stated it was the best option at the time to help free up desperately needed beds at the state’s hospitals, adding that the move did not cause additional deaths.
