NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, who represents parts of Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn, has tested positive for COVID-19, she announced Tuesday.
The Democrat lawmaker took the opportunity to make a dig at states and other jurisdictions that have taken to banning books, typically those addressing race and sexuality. "Per CDC guidance and the advice of the Attending Physician of the Capitol, I am quarantining at home in New York City," she said in a statement. "Maybe I'll use the time to read some banned books."
Maloney learned of her diagnosis after first testing positive from an at-home COVID-19 test, followed by a lab PCR test, her office said.
“I am in good spirits, just feeling a bit like I have a bad cold," she said. "But I'm also feeling grateful that testing is now easily and widely available, so I won't unknowingly spread the virus to friends and family. And I am especially grateful that I have had my COVID vaccine shots and my Boosters. I hate to contemplate what I might be facing were that not the case. We're all in a much better place than we were 2 years ago at this time.
