Hochul apologizes to families of nursing home COVID-19 victims
NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Gov. Kathy Hochul on Tuesday met with family members of those who died in nursing homes during the coronavirus pandemic to apologize for the Andrew Cuomo administration's handling of their care, Hochul’s office confirmed.
Hochul joined Queens State Assemblyman Ron Kim for the closed-door meeting in Manhattan, where the Kim and family members requested a host of eldercare reforms, the New York Post first reported.
"Governor Hochul is committed to transparency and restoring trust in government, and she looks forward to working with Assemblymember Kim on these priorities,” Hazel Crampton-Hays, a spokeswoman for Hochul, in a statement.
“On her first day in office, the Governor disclosed additional nursing home data, and she will continue to deliver transparency to New Yorkers on the impact of COVID-19 on nursing homes,” she said. “Governor Hochul's deep sympathy is with the families whose loved ones have been lost to the pandemic, and she appreciates Assemblymember Kim's dedication to these important issues."
