NEW YORK _ Rick Cotton, the executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, has tested positive for the coronavirus, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Monday.
"He's been at the airports, obviously," the governor said at a news conference in Albany. "He'll be working from home and now the senior team that works with Rick will also be tested. So several of them may be on quarantine."
The state has 142 confirmed cases of coronavirus, the governor said, with 19 of them in New York City.
The governor himself has not been tested for the virus, saying he's not a "probably positive."
