Our hearts go out to those families who lost loved ones after being exposed to COVID-19 in nursing homes. In the pandemic&#8217;s early days, Governor Cuomo&#8217;s directive placed residents in substantial danger by admitting COVID-19 patients discharged from hospitals into long-term care facilities. The mandate prohibited nursing homes from testing any patients admitted to determine their level of contagiousness. In exchange, health care centers were provided with blanket immunity from COVID-19 liability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Repeal&#8217;s Implications for Nursing Home Victims<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Liability protections allowed health care centers to cut corners and jeopardize vulnerable patients while increasing profit margins. The immunity law eliminated a significant deterrent that loved ones of nursing home residents had to protect their family members from neglect and mistreatment.
