New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) announced on Sunday that she has tested positive for Covid-19.
The 63-year-old governor is fully vaccinated and boosted with the experimental Covid-19 vaccine.
“Today, I tested positive for COVID-19. Thankfully, I’m vaccinated and boosted, and I’m asymptomatic. I’ll be isolating and working remotely this week,” Hochul announced on her Twitter account.
Although the vaccine clearly did not help the governor from contracting the virus, the far-left governor still urged her constituents to get vaccinated.
“A reminder to all New Yorkers: get vaccinated and boosted, get tested, and stay home if you don’t feel well,” she added.
New York City last week raised its Covid alert level to “medium” as new China virus cases surpassed the CDC’s threshold of 200 cases per 100,000 people.
No new Covid restrictions will be reimplemented, however, the City will likely reimpose its mask mandate if the alert level reaches “high.”
Covid deaths and hospitalizations are declining, but NYC officials are using new ‘cases’ to control and scare the public.
“The coming weeks will be critical to slowing the spread of COVID-19 and getting back to a low-risk level so we can more safely enjoy our spring,” NYC Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan said. “And remember, the steps you take to protect yourself also protect others, especially those most vulnerable. As a city, we have the tools we need to beat back this virus. As New Yorkers, we are in this together. By incorporating these steps into our daily lives, we can continue to look out for one another and ourselves.”
