Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is set to testify before Congress regarding his COVID pandemic response, particularly his controversial policy that forced nursing homes to accept COVID-positive patients. The Republican-led Select Committee on the coronavirus pandemic has released preliminary findings from its investigation into Cuomo's actions during the pandemic.
The committee's report attributes the directive issued by Cuomo on March 25, 2020, as a key factor in exposing vulnerable nursing home populations to COVID-19. It also alleges that Cuomo personally edited a July 2020 New York Health Department report to shift blame for COVID-19 deaths onto nursing home staff infections rather than his office's directive.
