THREAD: Setting the Record Straight on CDC Guidance and Gov. Cuomo's Department of Health Failure Regarding Nursing Homes.
Gov. Cuomo continues to claim "politics" and avoid accountability for the NYS Dept. of Health’s failure to protect our most vulnerable in nursing homes.

CDC guidance was clear: discharging #COVID19 patients should be based on the ability of the facility to meet infection control practices.

Our office is closely in touch with hospitals and county public health officials who have #COVIDー19 testing supplies, however the challenge has been the lack of labs to run these tests in a timely manner.
