Reports in the New York Times, Washington Post and Albany Times Union said Cuomo used State Police and a top health department epidemiologist to provide coronavirus tests last spring to his family, including his brother, CNN host Chris Cuomo, who became ill with the virus; his mother, Matilda Cuomo; and one of his sisters. At the time, testing resources were extremely limited and thousands of New Yorkers ill or dying from the virus had no access to testing.
