The total number of deaths for nursing homes has increased by 12,000 according to Governor Hochul

Former Governor Andrew Cuomo originally said there were 43,400 deaths but Governor Kathy Hochul has added 12,000 more bringing the total amount to 55,400.

The number is based on information the CDC collected regarding death certificate submissions.


Independent institutions collected data and had come up with higher numbers as well.

The count Cuomo chose to use when addressing the public used lab confirmed cases.
