Former Gov. Cuomo to Face Congress Under Oath Over COVID-19 Nursing Home Decisions

Jun 10, 2024, 11:40 AM

Former Governor Andrew Cuomo is set to face Congress this week to address his controversial decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly the order that forced nursing homes to accept COVID-19-positive patients. This decision is believed to have cost thousands of lives, particularly among the elderly. For nearly four years, Cuomo has resisted providing detailed answers to the Committee investigating the government's preparedness and response plans. The hearing aims to gather answers for families who lost loved ones and to prevent similar occurrences in the future. Cuomo is expected to testify under oath and may face a wrist-slap for his actions.
