Andrew Cuomo’s administration, according to a scathing audit from the Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. When the COVID-19 pandemic swept through New York, the Department of Health was not prepared to respond to the infectious disease outbreaks in nursing homes, according to the audit, which helped lead to the inaccurate virus-related death count in facilities. Auditors found that health officials undercounted the death toll in nursing homes by at le…
