ملف:Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo Testifies on New York's Response to COVID-19.ogg

English: Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) testified on his administration’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and a directive he issued to admit and readmit patients and residents infected with the coronavirus before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. The governor defended his record against committee Republicans who said his policies resulted in the unnecessary death of thousands of nursing home residents across New York state. Mr. Cuomo asserted the deaths were from community spread and infected workers during a time when testing was not widely available. He also pointed to the lack of pandemic-related policies and leadership of former President Trump as contributing factors to deaths attributed to the pandemic.
