Rick Cotton, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, is the first public official in the region to test positive for coronavirus.
The announcement came from Gov. Andrew Cuomo Monday afternoon who said New York now has the most coronavirus cases in the nation.

"Rick Cotton has tested positive for the coronavirus so he is going to be in quarantine, he's going to be working from home," Cuomo said. "He's been at the airports, obviously, when many people were coming back with the virus."

"Mr. Cotton is currently asymptomatic and has self-quarantined at his home while maintaining a full schedule," the Port Authority said in a statement. "Any staff members who have had close contact with him in recent days are also working from home as they follow the guidelines and protocols put in place by the New York State Department of Health.”
