New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo defended his decision to require nursing homes to readmit residents with the coronavirus during the early days of the pandemic in the state.
Cuomo has been widely criticized for issuing a mandate in March that said that nursing homes could not discriminate against residents who tested positive for COVID-19, meaning that some ill residents were readmitted to facilities where the virus spread to high-risk, elderly patients. During a press conference on Sunday, the governor noted that the policy had slightly changed but stood by his original decision.
