Gov. Hochul tests positive for COVID-19

NEW YORK -- New York Gov. Kathy Hochul tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday.

Hochul is asymptomatic and will work remotely this week, she said on Twitter.

"I'll be isolating and working remotely this week. A reminder to all New Yorkers: get vaccinated and boosted, get tested, and stay home if you don't feel well," Hochul said.

Hochul is fully vaccinated and boosted.
