As a refresher, COVID-19 patients were placed with the elderly, increasing their risk of infection. Many nursing home residents eventually came down with COVID-19; some attribute these deaths to the decision to house those with COVID-19. Andrew Cuomo&#8217;s legal representative was contacted and informed that this investigation was coming to a close.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Fox News:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The investigation was opened after a report last year by New York Attorney General Letitia James revealed that the state&#8217;s Department of Health underreported COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes by as much as 50%.<\/p>\n<p>Cuomo had directed nursing homes to accept patients who tested positive for or were suspected of having COVID-19 early in his pandemic response, a move that became controversial after thousands of elderly patients became infected with the virus.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As the pandemic and our investigations continue, it is imperative that we understand why the residents of nursing homes in New York unnecessarily suffered at such an alarming rate,&#8221; James said in a statement at the time. &#8220;While we cannot bring back the individuals we lost to this crisis, this report seeks to offer transparency that the public deserves and to spur increased action to protect our most vulnerable residents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A separate investigation conducted by the New York Assembly concluded in November that the Cuomo administration &#8220;materially misrepresented&#8221; data on nursing home COVID-19 deaths, with one lawmaker saying the revelations would have been grounds for impeachment if Cuomo was still in office.<\/p>\n<p>The Manhattan District Attorney&#8217;s office did not immediately respond to a Fox News request for comment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has additional information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/manhattan-da-reportedly-closes-investigation-into-nursing-home-deaths-without-bringing-charges-against-cuomo\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The investigation into Andrew Cuomo&#8217;s handling of nursing homes during the pandemic is coming to a &hellip; <a title=\"Probe into Cuomo&#8217;s handling of nursing homes ending &#8211; no charges brought\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=121336\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Probe into Cuomo&#8217;s handling of nursing homes ending &#8211; no charges brought<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":661,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[185],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-121336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-crime"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/661"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=121336"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121336\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":121338,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121336\/revisions\/121338"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=121336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=121336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=121336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
