The governor who mandated coronavirus-positive patients be sent into nursing homes with little to no notice is now claiming the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is playing politics after the agency updated its recommendation on quarantining after travel.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) tweeted Wednesday that he disagreed with the CDC’s new guidelines, which were updated last Friday to remove its suggestion that those traveling overseas or out of state should quarantine for 14 days when they return. Cuomo, along with New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont – also Democrats – have instituted a mandatory 14-day quarantine for people traveling to their states from 35 states and territories.
