Longtime investor Paul Tudor Jones tested positive for Covid-19 after attending a dinner benefiting the Robin Hood Foundation.
“I tested positive for COVID Thursday afternoon, the day after the annual Robin Hood dinner.

I feel fine, have no temperature and am following COVID protocols. If I have inadvertently exposed anyone, I am truly and deeply sorry.”
