Disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, US media has reported. Weinstein, 68, is in prison in northern New York state after being sentenced to 23 years in jail for rape and sexual assault.
The fallen film producer's diagnosis was first reported yesterday evening by local paper the Niagara Gazette. Weinstein's spokespeople have declined to comment to US media on the subject.
The New York state Department of Corrections did not respond when contacted for confirmation of the reports. Weinstein was transferred on Wednesday to a prison near Buffalo, 560km northwest of New York City.
