His daily COVID-19 briefings had been the only one by a governor without the televised service, disability rights advocates said.
Faced with a lawsuit, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday finally began providing an on-screen American Sign Language interpreter for his widely watched daily briefings on the state's efforts to stem the coronavirus pandemic.said Cuomo was the only U.S. governor holding daily coronavirus briefings without a visible, real-time ASL interpreter on-screen — known as “televised in frame ASL interpretation.
In the lawsuit, Disability Rights New York said it had received “a large number of complaints from deaf New Yorkers who are unable to understand Governor Cuomo’s daily briefings due to the lack of in frame televised ASL interpretation.”
