Cuomo Escapes Liability Claims for Covid-19 Nursing Home Policy

Bloomberg Law: Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) had qualified immunity from a lawsuit alleging a patient transfer policy he implemented as governor allegedly caused nursing home residents to die of Covid-19, the Second Circuit ruled Tuesday.
The family members of nursing home residents who died from Covid failed to prove that Cuomo and other former state officials knew the state’s March 2020 policy directing nursing homes to readmit residents who had been discharged from hospitals after being treated for Covid was illegal, the court said just one week after oral argument.
