文件——纽约市长埃里克·亚当斯在哈莱姆医院的新闻发布会上发言..
纽约——据一位发言人称,纽约市长埃里克·亚当斯周日(他上任100天)的新冠肺炎检测呈阳性。
发言人杨奇煜·利维在一份声明中说,这位第一任期的民主党人周日醒来时声音刺耳,并进行了PCR检测,结果呈阳性。周日早些时候,利维在推特上说,亚当斯进行了快速测试,结果呈阴性,但出于谨慎,他进行了额外的测试。
利维说,亚当斯没有其他症状,但已经取消了本周的所有公共活动,并将服用抗病毒药物和远程工作。
在过去的一个月里,纽约市的病毒病例持续增加。现在平均每天大约有1800个新病例——还不包括许多未向卫生官员报告的家庭测试。这一数字是3月初的三倍,当时该市开始放宽口罩和疫苗接种规则。
亚当斯过去的一周很忙:市长参加了上周六在华盛顿举行的年度Gridiron俱乐部晚宴,之后数十名与会者的检测结果呈阳性。他还在周三的全国行动网络大会上发表了讲话,并参加了当晚的庆祝活动,周四出现在MSNBC“早安乔”的演播室,然后与劳勃·狄·尼诺一起参加了连任电影节,周五参加了纽约扬基队的开幕式,周六在奥尔巴尼。
New York City Mayor Eric Adams tests positive for COVID-19
NEW YORK -- New York City Mayor Eric Adams tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday, his 100th day in office, according to a spokesperson.
The first-term Democrat woke up with a raspy voice Sunday and took a PCR test that came back positive, spokesperson Fabien Levy said in a statement. Earlier Sunday, Levy had tweeted that Adams had taken a rapid test that came back negative but took the additional test out of an abundance of caution.
Adams has no other symptoms but has canceled all public events for the week and will be taking antiviral medications and working remotely, Levy said.
New York City has been experiencing a steady resurgence in virus cases over the past month. It’s now averaging around 1,800 new cases per day — not counting the many home tests that go unreported to health officials. That’s triple the number in early March, when the city began relaxing masking and vaccination rules.
Adams' past week was busy: The mayor attended the annual Gridiron Club dinner in Washington last Saturday, after which dozens of attendees tested positive. He also delivered remarks at the National Action Network convention on Wednesday and attended that night's gala, appeared in-studio on MSNBC's “Morning Joe” on Thursday before joining Robert De Niro at the ReelAbilities Film Festival, went to the New York Yankees' opening day Friday and was in Albany on Saturday.
