Weren't the only other states that had Executive Orders to put covid positive patients back in their nursing homes, Pennsylvania, Michigan, New Jersey and California? I believe that they all had Democrat governors, unless I'm mistaken. Why does the person to potentially replace Cuomo have to be a Democrat? They could be a part of the Whig party for all I care, as long as they can do a good job.

Each state has some constitutionally prescribed method for filling vacancies in the office of governor. In the 45 states with a lieutenant governor, that individual is the first in the line of succession. Whether additional offices in the line of succession are named in the constitution or by statute varies among states.
Among those states where no such title as lieutenant governor exists, the primary successor to the governor varies. Officers first in line to succeed the governor in case of a vacancy are:
The president of the state senate in two states (Maine and New Hampshire) The presidents of the West Virginia and Tennessee state senates are also first in line since they serve as lieutenant governor ex officio.
The secretary of state in three other states (Arizona, Oregon and Wyoming).
As far as the the Covid nursing homes go. When hospitals are full and there are no beds left what do you do with Covid positive patients who aren’t in a life threatening position? There are a lot of different circumstances.

[i]Whitmer said there has not been a single instance where the state ordered nursing homes to keep COVID-19 patients.
She said the state followed CDC guidance to allow nursing home residents to come back after they were hospitalized as long as they had a separate unit that was separately staffed.
"That was the CDC guidelines, that's what we followed," she said. "We never required a single nursing home to take in a patient that was recovering from COVID-19, it's just plain false."[/i]

[i]Cuomo has defended his March order and said he was just following recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "New York followed the president's agencies' guidance," Cuomo said during a press conference on Saturday. "What New York did was follow what the Republican Administration said to do. That's not my attempt to politicize it. It's my attempt to depoliticize it. So don't criticize the state for following the president's policy."
On May 10, Cuomo released new guidance that prohibited hospitals from sending people who tested positive for COVID-19 back to nursing homes, though his administration said the new guidance added to — but did not replace — the original order.[/i]
