New York governor’s aides omitted 9,250 deaths from reportAdministration says changes were due to accuracy concerns Andrew Cuomo at a coronavirus briefing in Manhasset, New York, on 6 May 2020. Photograph: Al Bello/Getty Images The New York state health department on Friday afternoon confirmed reports that members of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s Covid-19 taskforce altered a report from that same health department in order to omit the full number of nursing home patients killed by the coronavirus. But Cuomo’s administration insisted the changes were made because of concerns about the data’s accuracy. Damaging new allegations had been published by the New York Times late Thursday that aides to Cuomo rewrote a report from state health officials to conceal Covid-19 deaths among nursing home patients and strengthen his reputation as a leader. The newspaper had claimed the attempted cover-up took place at the start of a months-long effort last June by senior administration officials to hide the extent of the pandemic sweeping New York, and sparked a furious battle with public health officials. The Wall Street Journal also reported the story Thursday and reports cited documents and people with knowledge of the administration’s internal discussions. Cuomo’s aides rewrote the report, which was not yet public, to omit 9,250 deaths of nursing home residents recorded by the New York state health department (DoH). State officials insisted that the edits were made because of concerns about accuracy. “While early versions of the report included out-of-facility deaths, the Covid taskforce was not satisfied that the data had been verified against hospital data and so the final report used only data for in facility deaths, which was disclosed in the report,” said Gary Holmes, the department of health spokesperson. The governor’s office didn’t respond to questions about whether Cuomo himself was involved in removing the higher death total from the report. The White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, said Friday that the allegations that Cuomo aides manipulated public reporting of nursing home deaths were “troubling” and said the White House “certainly would support any outside investigation”. It came as Cuomo, who is also facing allegations from three women of sexual harassment and inappropriate workplace conduct, was beginning to write a book on the success of his handling of the pandemic. At the time, the governor’s daily televised press conferences were widely praised for keeping the public informed. The New York Times said it had spoken with numerous people and reviewed documents for its report, which alleges that Cuomo’s efforts to omit or manipulate data about nursing home deaths came about far earlier than previously admitted. Earlier this year, New York state’s attorney general said that thousands of coronavirus deaths of nursing home patients had been undercounted because only Covid-19 deaths that occurred in nursing homes, and not hospitals, were included. It prompted calls from Republicans and several Democratic allies for Cuomo’s resignation. Cuomo defended his position, conceding it had been done because of concerns that Donald Trump’s administration might use it to conduct a politically motivated inquiry into the governor’s handling of the pandemic in facilities for seniors.

Photograph: Mike Segar/Reuters The fresh claims push that timeline back by more than half a year, adding to the pressure on the embattled governor who is also facing a vote in the New York legislature to strip him of the emergency pandemic powers he was granted last year. The New York Times named three Cuomo aides it said were involved in changing the report, Melissa DeRosa, the governor’s top aide; Linda Lacewell, the head of the state’s department of financial services; and Jim Malatras, a former top adviser of the governor who was brought back to work on the pandemic. None had public health expertise, the newspaper said. Their efforts, it said, fueled bitter exchanges with health officials who had written the report, adding to an already tense relationship between the governor and his health department. Cuomo’s office released a statement after the New York Times published its latest allegations blaming the department of health for the 9,250 deaths being removed from the report. “The out-of-facility data was omitted after DoH could not confirm it had been adequately verified. This did not change the conclusion of the report,” the statement from Beth Garvey, Cuomo’s special counsel, said. Cuomo was criticised by Republicans last spring for signing an order preventing nursing homes from turning away patients who had been treated for Covid-19 in hospital. They claimed it sparked a spike in the virus and numbers of deaths of residents, who then were not included in the data if they were subsequently transferred to hospital and died there. Cuomo sought approval from the state ethics agency to earn income from a book “about what we went through” last July after a health department report said his policies were not to blame for the spike. Separately, one of the women who has accused Cuomo of inappropriate conduct appeared on CBS Evening News on Thursday, claiming that one encounter came during the height of the pandemic last spring. Charlotte Bennett, who worked as an assistant in the governor’s office, said she believed the governor was propositioning her for sex. “I thought, he’s trying to sleep with me, the governor is trying to sleep with me and I’m very uncomfortable and I have to get out of this room as soon as possible,” she said. “He asked me if age difference matters. I’m 25. Without explicitly saying it, he implied that I was old enough for him and he was lonely.” Cuomo apologized for his actions at a press conference on Wednesday. The New York state attorney general, Letitia James, will oversee an independent inquiry into the allegations.
