Earlier this month, Cuomo said that people were stealing face masks and other equipment needed to fight the coronavirus from area hospitals. On Monday, the New York governor dismissed a similar claim by the president.
President Trump on Sunday speculated that New York State hospitals are running short of respirator masks to protect doctors and nurses from the coronavirus because supplies are being stolen.
“I don’t know what that means,” Cuomo said. “I don’t know what he’s trying to say. If he wants to make an accusation, then let him make an accusation.” “Not just people taking a couple or three, I mean just actual thefts of those products,” Cuomo said. “I’ve asked the state police to do an investigation, look at places that are selling masks, medical equipment, protective wear, feeding the anxiety.”Cuomo did not repeat the remark on Monday, or give any update on the investigation.
