The Mayor's office will provide updates if his health prevents him from fulfilling his duties.
Adams' Legal Battle Continues
This health update comes as Adams, 64, prepares for his upcoming trial in April on federal corruption charges. He was indicted last September on five counts, including wire fraud and bribery, and has pleaded not guilty.

The city's operations will continue as usual, with over 300,000 city employees committed to serving New Yorkers.
