Biaggi Moves to Repeal Governor’s Nursing Home Immunity Provision

Nearly 6,000 New Yorkers have died in nursing homes and adult care facilities from COVID-19, with over 700 lives lost in the Bronx,” said Biaggi.

While it is abundantly clear that nursing homes have not received the full support that they need to weather this pandemic, that does not mean we completely strip away their responsibility for the care of our loved ones.”

By repealing the Governor’s provision to shield nursing homes and other healthcare facilities from liability, we can at least provide impacted families with the transparency and accountability they deserve,” she added.

Our elderly are not disposable, and our laws must reflect that,” she said.
