Assemblyman Brian Manktelow (R,C-Lyons) recently emphasized the importance of demanding transparency and accountability in New York's COVID response during a press conference. Alongside Congressman Marc Molinaro and other leaders, Manktelow renewed calls for an independent review of the state's actions during the pandemic.

The press conference, held on the fourth anniversary of the controversial order mandating nursing homes to accept COVID-19-positive patients, aimed to address the significant impact of this decision. Manktelow, in solidarity with the families of "Voices for Seniors," reiterated the need for answers and justice regarding the state's handling of the crisis.

In his statement, Manktelow stressed, "It's imperative that we have transparency to fully comprehend the shortcomings in New York's COVID response... We must enact meaningful reforms to safeguard against similar tragedies in the future. We have waited too long for this information and need answers."

The families who tragically lost loved ones in nursing homes during the pandemic continue to seek accountability from leaders and demand transparency in understanding the events that unfolded. Manktelow and his colleagues are committed to ensuring that reforms are implemented to prevent such tragedies from reoccurring.

As the calls for transparency and accountability in New York's COVID response grow louder, Manktelow's efforts reflect a broader push for justice and reform to address the shortcomings that have led to devastating consequences.
