The following is a statement from MTA Chief Communications Officer Abbey Collins.
“MTA Chairman and CEO Pat Foye learned today that he has tested positive for CoViD-19. Pat is currently isolating at home, feeling good and maintaining his full schedule. Pat was last in the office on Wednesday, maintained a safe social distance and was asymptomatic at that time. He worked remotely Thursday and Friday, following a previously arranged schedule. All MTA staff have been observing recommended guidelines put in place by the New York State Department of Health, including social distancing.
“Pat’s top priority remains the health and safety of our customers and employees and ensuring New York’s healthcare workers, first responders and other essential personnel can get to and from work during this public health crisis.”
