Representative Adriano Espaillat Tests Positive for COVID-19, Remains Asymptomatic
Espaillat is Fully Vaccinated and Boosted
Today, Representative Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) released the following statement after testing positive for COVID-19:
“I have tested positive for COVID-19 and am currently quarantining at home. I am fully vaccinated and received my booster earlier this winter. Although, I remain asymptomatic, I am following the recommendations and will continue to test regularly over the next few days until my test results are negative.
“Many will note that this is my second COVID-19 diagnosis following a previous infection in January of 2021. We have entered a new phase of the pandemic and are not fully out of the woods yet as the virus continues to surge in New York City and in communities around the nation.
“As we enter the new year, it remains critical that we continue vigilance and caution, and I encourage everyone to get vaccinated and all eligible and at risk residents to get the COVID-19 booster shot as soon as possible to help reduce hospitalizations and deaths – and ultimately help our communities get back on track.”
