Cuomo to testify before Congress about COVID-19 nursing home deaths

House Republicans announced on Tuesday that former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo would testify before the Oversight Committee to address his state’s policy for requiring nursing homes to admit COVID-19-positive patients in the early months of the pandemic.

“Andrew Cuomo owes answers to the 15,000 families who lost loved ones in New York’s nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. On September 10, Americans will have the opportunity to hear directly from the former governor about New York’s potentially fatal nursing home policies,” said Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), chairman of the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic.
