New York, where Cooper lives, has experienced a recent uptick in COVID cases, The Hill notes. The BA.2 strain of the highly contagious Omicron variant has quickly spread throughout the country, becoming the primary variant. New York City Mayor Eric Adams tested positive for COVID on April 10, joining Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and First Gentleman Doug Emhoff on the list of major political figures who contracted the virus this spring.
