A damning watchdog report found that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s directive to nursing-homes forcing them to accept coronavirus patients discharged from hospitals may have caused up 10 1,000 more deaths among elderly residents.
The nonprofit Empire Center for Public Policy released its report Thursday. The report, which uses information from the state health department, found that the controversial order was “associated with” more than one in six of the 5,780 nursing-home deaths that occurred in New York state statewide between the end of March and beginning of May.
