NY governor admits withholding pandemic death toll

News Desk

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo acknowledged on Monday that his office should not have withheld data on Covid-19 nursing home deaths from state lawmakers, the public and press. Cuomo said at a press conference that “lessons were learned’ in not releasing the data and that things “should have been done differently.” “The last thing I wanted to do was aggravate a terrible situation,” said Cuomo, a third-term Democrat. “There were people’s requests, press requests that were not answered in a timely manner.”
