NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James today released the following statement after it was announced that Dr. Howard Zucker has submitted his resignation from the state Department of Health:
“Dr. Zucker’s resignation marks the end of a difficult chapter for our state. While I thank him for his service, we need more transparency and accountability at the Department of Health as we continue to battle COVID-19.
