(KNSI) – Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and some of his family members have tested positive for COVID-19.
“Yesterday, my 9th grade son tested positive for COVID-19. Gwen and I were both tested that same day, and after initially testing negative yesterday morning, last night we received positive COVID-19 tests,” said Walz, “Thankfully, my son has mild symptoms and Gwen and I have no symptoms. My son is vaccinated, and Gwen and I are vaccinated and have received our booster shots, and I am confident that these vaccines are protecting my family and me from a serious illness.”
On Twitter this morning, he says his family is isolating and will continue to work from home until he tests negative for the virus.
He encourages every Minnesotan to get tested and vaccinated and a booster to ensure they have strong protection against COVID-19.
