New York City Mayor Eric Adams limits public schedule for ‘routine medical tests’

Democratic New York Mayor Eric Adams has a limited public schedule this week, and his office says he is undergoing medical tests.

“For the past few days, Mayor Adams has not been feeling his best,” Fabian Levy, New York City's deputy mayor for communications, said in a statement. Levy did not specify any conditions or medical concerns.

“As a result, the Mayor will have a number of physician appointments and undergo routine medical tests this week,” Levy continued. “Mayor Adams will continue to communicate with his staff to ensure that city business is not disrupted, however, the Mayor has a limited public schedule during this time.”

Adams' office said New Yorker City Hall will continue its daily functions as Adams focuses on his health this week.

“New Yorkers can rest assured that local government continues to deliver for them every day, as a dedicated workforce at City Hall and as more than 300,000 employees across dozens of city agencies. “While Mayor Adams, like every other New Yorker, has the right to privacy regarding personal matters, we understand that he may not be able to fully perform his duties on any given day. Continue to communicate with high events.”
