State Senator Jim Seward was released from the Albany Medical Center Monday and will continue recuperating from COVID-19 at his Milford home.
Senator Seward expects a full recovery “and is looking forward to resuming his duties on behalf of the people he feels privileged to represent,” said his Chief of Staff Duncan Davie.
“The family is profoundly grateful to God and the medical team at Albany Medical Center for the Senator’s recovery from the virus,” Mr. Davie said,
“The outpouring of prayers and well wishes from neighbors, constituents, friends, legislative colleagues, local officials and others has encouraged, strengthened and cheered them through the recent challenging weeks.”
State Senator Jim Seward was moved out of intensive care at Albany Medical Center late last Tuesday.
Senator Seward, 68, was diagnosed with COVID-19 last month and admitted to the Albany Medical Center on March 26.
He has also been undergoing treatment for bladder cancer.
Senator Seward’s wife, Cindy, was also diagnosed with COVID-19, pneumonia and shingles, and self-quarantined at home during her recovery.
