Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is set to publicly testify before Congress regarding his administration's handling of nursing home deaths during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The testimony is scheduled for September 10, as announced by the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. This appearance follows Cuomo's previous private testimony to the Republican-led House panel investigating the pandemic's response.
The focus is expected to be on the controversial advisory issued under Cuomo's leadership, which has been criticized for potentially exacerbating the spread of COVID-19 within nursing homes.

What personal qualities do you think are most important for leaders during a health crisis?

Being able to calm people down and focus on the crisis at hand
It's about time Cuomo is held accountable for the nursing home scandal. Government overreach and mishandling during the pandemic need to be scrutinized, and this testimony could shine a light on how disastrous those policies were. Hopefully, this will lead to more transparency and less bureaucracy in handling public health crises in the future.
