Adams, Williams host press conference with woman who claims her family member is being mistreated in Brooklyn nursing home due to COVID-19
Borough President Eric Adams and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams held a virtual press conference regarding the threat nursing home residents continue to face during the COVID-19 pandemic. The two talked to a woman who has a parent in a nursing home in the borough.
The two elected officials also demanded an investigation by the New York Attorney General’s Office into conditions in nursing homes throughout the city and state and more stringent requirements around personal protective equipment for all nursing home employees.
“We cannot wait until this crisis is over and have this post coronavirus review,” Adams said during the conference. We must look at areas where we can right the ship now and ensure that we deal with some of the crises on the ground.”
