ALBANY – New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo s administration is facing renewed pressure from Republicans, Democrats and even the courts to release more information about the COVID-19 crisis in nursing homes.
State Supreme Court Justice Kimberly O’Connor ruled against the state Department of Health on Wednesday, giving the state agency five business days to release the number of nursing home residents who died each day at each facility in response to a lawsuit by the Empire Center, an Albany-based think tank.
The ruling came the same day Republican lawmakers at the state and federal level renewed their calls for the Cuomo administration to be subpoenaed, pointing to a recent report from Democratic state Attorney General Letitia James that chastised the Health Department for underrepresenting the nursing home death toll.
