NEW YORK CITY — The Port Authority's executive director has tested positive for the new coronavirus, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday.

Rick Cotton has been overseeing international arrivals at JFK Airport and other airports.

"He has been at airports with many people coming back with the virus," Cuomo said.

 

 

"He'll be working at home." The rest of his team is being tested and will also work remotely, Cuomo said.
