Mayor Adams tests positive for COVID-19 as questions about latest federal probe into his top aides swirl

Mayor Eric Adams tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday, his office reported — causing him to cancel many of his planned public events less than a week after several of his top aides were raided by federal law enforcement.

Adams’ Deputy Mayor for Communications Fabien Levy said in a text message, “The mayor said he didn’t feel great this morning and tested positive for COVID a little while ago.”
