New York — Former New York Governor
In a video shared online Wednesday, Cuomo said his policies were meant to “protect health and save lives,” but admitted he did not “always fully consider the sensitivities and traditions that are so deeply important.”
During the pandemic, Cuomo imposed strict limits on religious services to control virus spread. While defended by public health officials, those measures drew backlash from some Jewish communities who said their rights were overlooked.
The apology comes as Cuomo, who resigned in 2021, is seeking a political comeback with a run for mayor. Many see his remarks as an attempt to repair relationships with a key voting bloc in New York City.
Whether the gesture is received as genuine regret or political calculation remains to be seen, but it highlights the lingering tension between public health mandates and religious freedom during the pandemic.
