Former NY Gov. Cuomo's handling of COVID in nursing homes is under scrutiny by Republican lawmakers, particularly regarding the state's guidance on admitting COVID-positive patients in early 2020.
Cuomo defended his actions, stating it was a national tragedy with high nursing home death rates. He argued New York followed federal directives and criticized the politicization of the issue.
Cuomo's administration faced criticism for allegedly underreporting nursing home deaths, while at least 15,000 long-term care residents died in the state during the pandemic.
Cuomo was subpoenaed in March and later agreed to an interview in April. He emphasized that both Democratic and Republican-led states issued similar nursing home guidance, highlighting the politicized nature of the scrutiny.
