An audit says Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration failed to account for about 4,100 nursing home residents who died from COVID-19.
It wasn't until Attorney General Letitia James released a bombshell report in January 2021 was it confirmed that the Cuomo administration had been downplaying the number of nursing home COVID deaths by more than 50%. Shortly after, Cuomo officials added more than 3,800 deaths to the state's nursing home death tally.
For example, the audit states that from May 3, 2020, to Feb. 3, 2021, the Cuomo administration had internal data showing that 13,147 nursing home residents had died from COVID but they were only publicly reporting 9,076 resident deaths.
