Rick Cotton, a former longtime NBC Universal executive who is executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, has tested positive for coronavirus. "Rick Cotton is an old friend of mine. In fact I just saw him on Saturday for the first time in a long time. Feel better Rick," Couric tweeted in reaction to the news. After Couric's Twitter followers urged her to self-quarantine, Couric tweeted: "Thinking of you, Rick. PS: We didn't touch!" UPDATE: Couric was told she was low risk, but she'll work from home "to be safe." "Just talked to a @CDCgov official who said I’m very low risk given the duration and nature of contact," Couric tweeted. "I will be working from home to be safe and make sure if I’m not feeling well I will go to the doctor. Will keep you posted."
