The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times report that the New York Governor Andrew Cuomo s administration doctored the data in an analysis of the number of nursing home residents who died in the early days of the pandemic.

The newspaper stories came out as Cuomo s administration was being criticized over a March 25, 2020 directive that sent thousands of recovering coronavirus patients back to nursing homes instead of continuing their care in hospitals.
