to determine what went right and what went wrong so that mistakes are not repeated in future emergencies.
"It is something I feel is important because New Yorkers deserve the best from their government," Hochul said. The review will include everything from closing down and reopening schools, shutting down the economy, mask mandates, PPE supplies, and the testing and vaccine rollouts. "We're going to be covering policies related to medical procedures and hospitals and patient facilities.
About 16,000 nursing home residents died from COVID in New York. Families, including Queens State Assemblymember Ron Kim have been pushing the governor to examine a policy implemented by the Cuomo administration.

Hochul says she wants initial findings from the team in six months and a final report to present to the public within a year.
