Sarah Palin dined at a Manhattan restaurant on Wednesday, two days after testing positive for COVID-19, Mediaite reported .

Palin was seen in an outdoor dining area at Elios, an Italian eatery on the Upper East Side where the unvaccinated former Alaskan governor also dined indoors on Saturday, in violation of New York Citys vaccination mandate.

Elios was not cited . Palin, who is visiting New York for her libel case against The New York Times, tested positive for the coronavirus on Monday, two days after her first visit to the restaurant.

This time, according to photos and accounts provided to Mediaite, Palin was in a heated outdoor area. Photos showed her maskless, sitting near others (some of whom could be in her party).

Tonight Sarah Palin returned to the restaurant to apologize for the fracas around her previous visit, Elios manager Luca Guaitolino told Mediaite in a statement. In accordance with the vaccine mandate and to protect our staff, we seated her outdoors. We are a restaurant open to the public, and we treat all civilians the same.
