NEW YORK — Harvey Weinstein, who tested positive for COVID-19 last month, has been released from his 14-day quarantine.

Weinstein, 68, who is being housed at the Wende Correctional Facility in New York, has been deemed “alright,” his spokesman, Juda Engelmayer, told FOX News. Engelmayer did not have any further information on what COVID-19 symptoms Weinstein had.

Weinstein’s prison consultant, Craig Rothfeld, said the former movie mogul is “still in the Regional Medical Unit at Wende CF and being monitored for his various medical conditions,” according to the report.

It’s unclear if the state’s Department of Corrections will continue to house Weinstein at Wende or move him to another long-term facility.
