New York State Senator James Skoufis has reported that he’s fully recovered
from COVID-19 and no longer in self-isolation, having passed 14 days without
any coronavirus symptoms, including fever, headaches, shaking chills, and
exhaustion.
“The past two weeks are the sickest I have ever felt and serve
as a reminder that, no matter one’s age or underlying health, COVID-19 is a
virus that ought to be taken with the utmost seriousness,” said Senator Skoufis
in a released statement.
“I am, first and foremost, thankful to my wife, Hillary, for her
care,” he said. “Family members, especially those who act as caregivers, suffer
from emotional turmoil and face severe risk of contraction while taking care of
loved ones. Hillary remains healthy and well while working from home. I also
want to express gratitude to my doctor at Cornerstone Family Healthcare who
represents the finest of the organization.”
Senator Skoufis also said that crises like the one we are living
in bring out the best in most people and that he’s grateful for the outpouring
of support from his wife, neighbors, friends, and constituents over the past
two weeks.
"I look forward to seeing everyone in the near future,” he
said.” In the meantime, please continue to take care and reach out to my office
if you need anything. We have lots of work to do, and I’m ready as ever to do
it."
