Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is set to testify in front of a congressional Covid subcommittee today. The subcommittee will question him about his controversial order that prohibited nursing homes from refusing Covid-19 positive patients, which some critics blame for contributing to thousands of nursing home deaths during the pandemic.
Cuomo, who resigned from his position in 2021 amid sexual harassment allegations, will participate in a closed-door, transcribed interview with the House Covid subcommittee. While his resignation was unrelated to the Covid pandemic, his handling of nursing home policies during the health crisis has come under scrutiny.
