The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic has issued a subpoena to former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, requesting his testimony regarding the state's COVID-19 nursing home policies. The committee is particularly interested in Cuomo's directive for nursing homes to admit COVID-19 patients in 2020, a decision that sparked significant backlash and controversy.
Republican leaders within the committee have criticized Cuomo's directive, attributing it to deadly consequences for New York's most vulnerable population. They argue that the decision to allow COVID-19 patients into nursing homes put residents at unnecessary risk and exacerbated the spread of the virus within these facilities.
