Cuomo rescinds March 25th Guidance and prohibited hospitals from discharging a patient to a nursing home unless the patient first tests negative for COVID-19 and requires nursing homes to test all staff twice weekly and authorizes the Commissioner to revoke an operating license for failure to comply and establishes penalties.

In the May 10th section of Cuomo’s book, he (falsely) states:
“New York was number forty-six out of fifty in the nation when it came to percentage of deaths in nursing homes. There were only four states with a lower percentage of nursing home deaths, and New York had a much worse situation to manage.”
