Cuomo more involved in COVID-19 nursing home policy than he admits: House GOP

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his team were involved in the creation of the pandemic policy that mandated that nursing homes admit COVID-19-positive patients, according to a memo published Monday by House Republicans.

“The Cuomo Administration is responsible for recklessly exposing New York’s most vulnerable population to COVID-19,” said Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, in a press statement. “Today’s memo holds Mr. Cuomo and his team accountable for their failures and provides the most detailed and comprehensive accounting of New York’s pandemic-era wrongdoing.”
