Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has agreed to testify before Congress regarding his controversial nursing home advisory from the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. The testimony is scheduled to take place on June 11 before the select Subcommittee on the Pandemic.
The advisory in question, issued in March 2020, prohibited nursing homes from turning away patients solely based on a Covid-19 diagnosis. Lawmakers, including Rep. Brad Wenstrup, have expressed concerns about the decision, citing the risks it posed to vulnerable populations.
