ABC7 News: Mayor Eric Adams will have a number of doctors’ appointments and undergo routine medical testing to determine why he is not feeling well.
Adams, who prides himself on his health, is suffering from an undisclosed or undiagnosed illness. Sources say Adams began feeling ill only recently.
“Over the last few days,” said his spokesman. “Mayor Adams hasn’t been feeling his best. As a result, this week, the mayor will have a number of doctors’ appointments and undergo routine medical tests.”
His spokesperson said the 64-year-old mayor is still making phone calls and conducting the city’s business, but he won’t be doing public events while taking care of his health.
The spokesperson later said in a statement that Mayor Adams is “doing well,” and “appreciates the well wishes as he continues to rest and work remotely.”
Adams has faced past health battles. He was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2016, temporarily suffering vision loss and prompting a lifestyle change. He became a pescatarian, pivoting plant-based foods only to improve his health.
The mayor was spotted in the Soundview Houses in the Bronx Thursday night. Before that, he appeared Wednesday night at a townhall meeting in Corona, Queens, and earlier in that day, he was at a news briefing on gun seizures in Harlem. He also rode the L train Tuesday night to promote more police officers on subway trains.
He was supposed to deliver remarks at a ribbon-cutting event at the Altneu Synagogue on the Upper East Side on Sunday night, but canceled.
At this point, the only thing on the mayors public schedule for Monday was a daily morning meeting with senior administration officials.
