New York Governor Andrew Cuomo took some blame for a scandal surrounding the state's nursing homes on Monday after a state report that Cove in 19 deaths among them were undercounted by as much as half.

紐約州州長安德魯-庫默週一在一份州政府報告中指出，科夫在19名死亡者中的死亡人數少了一半之多，對圍繞該州養老院的醜聞進行了一些指責。

Cuomo acknowledged his office should not have withheld that data from state lawmakers, but fell short of issuing an apology.

庫莫承認他的辦公室不應該向州議員隱瞞這些數據，但沒有發表道歉。

We should have provided MAWR information faster.

We were too focused on doing the job and addressing the crisis of the moment, and we did not do a good enough job in providing information.

我們過於注重做好工作，解決當下的危機，在資訊提供方面做得不夠好。

More than 15,000 people in New York's nursing homes and long term care facilities have died from Cove in 19, but the state has Onley reported 8500 nursing home deaths as recently as last month.

紐約的養老院和長期護理機構有超過1.5萬人在19年死於科夫，但該州已Onley報告了8500個養老院死亡，最近在上個月。

The numbers did not account for residents who died in hospitals rather than nursing home facilities.

這些數字並不包括死於醫院而非養老院設施的居民。

On Monday, Cuomo acknowledged that the media, state lawmakers and the U.

週一，Cuomo承認，媒體、州立法者和美國。

Department of Justice had all requested the full numbers as early as last summer, but said that his office prioritized the DOJ inquiry first, leaving the other requests unanswered.

司法部早在去年夏天就都要求提供完整的數字，但他表示，他的辦公室首先優先考慮司法部的調查，而其他要求沒有得到迴應。

It all means new trouble for Cuomo, who, despite winning national attention for his early transparency about New York's Cove in 19 crisis, has been criticized for his cove in 19 response and nursing homes since last spring.

這一切都意味著Cuomo的新麻煩，儘管他早期對紐約19危機的透明度贏得了全國性的關注，但自去年春天以來，他在19反應和養老院的海灣一直受到責備。

 In response to the controversy, Democrat and Republican lawmakers said last week they're reconsidering granting Cuomo emergency powers to contend with the pandemic. 

為了迴應爭議，民主黨和共和黨議員上週表示，他們正在重新考慮授予Cuomo應對疫情的緊急權力。
