ALBANY, N.Y. — New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has tested positive for Covid, she announced via a tweet on Sunday afternoon.
“Thankfully, I’m vaccinated and boosted, and I’m asymptomatic,” she wrote.
“I’ll be isolating and working remotely this week. A reminder to all New Yorkers: get vaccinated and boosted, get tested, and stay home if you don’t feel well.”
Hochul last appeared in public on Friday, when she sat next to New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy at an event sponsored by the Regional Plan Association, a local civic organization.
The governor received a Johnson & Johnson shot last March and Moderna boosters in October and April.
Several top officials in the state, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams, have tested positive recently as case loads have increased. Some 13,902 positive results were reported throughout the state on Thursday, compared to 8,452 a week before and 5,904 four weeks prior.
