NY-12: Maloney primary challenger tests positive for coronavirus

Rep. Carolyn Maloney’s (D-N.Y.) primary challenger Suraj Patel revealed on Monday that he has tested positive for the coronavirus after experiencing symptoms roughly 10 days ago.

Patel said in a Medium post that he and his two roommates, who are both doctors, were all required to test for the virus in order for the roommates to receive clearance to work.

All three tested positive for the coronavirus and self-isolated for a period of time.

"We experienced the symptoms of a COVID infection including 101–102-degree fevers, shortness of breath, and body aches for several days," Patel wrote on Medium. "I personally, am happy to say that I am now fully recovered and have been asymptomatic for more days than hospital guidelines require to go back to work."
