Cuomo pressed on decision to hold public events without media members amid ongoing controversies
Fox News
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has closed recent events to the press due to COVID-19 restrictions, a policy that has prevented the press from asking in-person questions as the governor deals with several ongoing controversies.
During a press conference at the Javits Center in New York City, where Cuomo announced a new Essential Workers Memorial and encouraged New Yorkers aged 16 and above to get vaccinated, he did not take any in-person questions. He also did not take in-person questions following a press briefing in Queens, New York, on Monday. No members of the press were allowed at either event due to the COVID-19 restriction, but non-media members were present.More Related News
