“#Cuomo admin tracked nursing home deaths months before DOH report<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The Cuomo administration began tracking COVID-19 related out-of-facility nursing home residents deaths as early as last April \u2014 yet still withheld the data from a state Health Department report released nearly three months later, according to a document obtained by The Post.<\/p>\n

The state DOH memo sent out to the administrators of nursing homes and adult care facilities directed them to report daily the number of residents who died of COVID-19, including \u201cif the death occurred in\u201d their \u201cfacility or the hospital setting.\u201d<\/p>\n

A copy of the directive obtained by The Post is dated April 18, 2020 \u2014 about eleven weeks before a health department report that excluded the number of nursing home residents who died of coronavirus outside of their facilities.<\/p>\n

Last month, The Wall Street Journal reported that Gov. Andrew Cuomo\u2019s top aides pushed the DOH to omit the out-of-facility nursing resident deaths.<\/p>\n

The final report, consequently, only included in-facility deaths, painting an incomplete picture of the pandemic\u2019s effect on the state\u2019s most vulnerable population.<\/p>\n

Only after the Journal report did Cuomo\u2019s team admit to withholding data in the public report.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe out-of-facility data was omitted after DOH could not confirm it had been adequately verified,\u201d Beth Garvey, special counsel to Cuomo, had said in a statement.<\/p>\n

At the end of January, the state finally released an accounting of the number of nursing home resident deaths in both nursing homes and hospitals.<\/p>\n

But, the revised figures came after months of stonewalling lawmakers and reporters, a lawsuit from the Empire Center and a damning state attorney general<\/a> report.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Cuomo did not immedia<\/a>tely respond to a request for comment.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
