28 April 2020: Cuomo Claims He Didn't Know About Deadly Directive

Cuomo Claims He Didn’t Know About New York Rule Forcing Nursing Homes To Accept Elderly With COVID-19

Here's an excerpt from the article, after Governor Cuomo was asked about his administration's 25 March 2020 directive:

At a briefing on Monday, when Cuomo was asked about admitting coronavirus patients to nursing homes he claimed he was unaware of New York’s rule.

“It’s a good question. I don’t know,” Cuomo said.

There's not much other new information on Governor Cuomo's COVID-19 nursing home scandal in this article, but it indicates that both California and New Jersey implemented similar rules as New York's to force nursing homes to accept coronavirus patients. Separately, over 3,000 coronavirus infection-related deaths have occurred at nursing homes in New York.
