Gov Cuomo ‘ordered top NY officials to give preferential Covid testing to CNN host brother Chris and their mom and sis’
ANDREW Cuomo allegedly ordered state officials to give preferential Covid testing to his CNN host brother and other family members.
Last year, in the early days of the pandemic, high-level members of New York's Health Department were reportedly directed to give priority testing to CNN's Chris Cuomo as well as the governor's mom and his sister.
Three people with direct knowledge of the matter reportedly told the outlet that the testing was often done at private residences, including Chris Cuomo's home on Long Island.
Sources reportedly told the outlet that Dr Eleanor Adams, an epidemiologist and special adviser to Zucker, conducted testing on Chris at his home.
The CNN anchor was diagnosed with during the early days of the pandemic, last March, when testing was still scarce.
She told the New York Times that the governor "has a way of making you feel very comfortable around him, almost like you're his friend."
"But then you walk away from the encounter or conversation, in your head going, 'I can't believe I just had that interaction with the governor of New York.'"

Cuomo was also accused of groping the breast of another aide at the Executive Mansion.
Former staffers Lindsey Boylan, Charlotte Bennett, Ana Liss and Karen Hinton all made allegations against the governor, as did Anna Ruch, who claimed to have had an uncomfortable encounter with Cuomo at a 2019 wedding.
