Statement from Mayor Duggan on testing positive for COVID, encouraging boosters 

"After two years, Covid finally caught up with me. Saturday morning, I woke up with a cough, so I took a home Covid test. The result was negative, but I chose to stay home for the day.  Sunday morning, the cough persisted, so I took another Covid test. This one came back positive.

I’m really glad I got the booster shot. The symptoms I have are mild - much like an average cold. Fortunately, my wife Sonia has tested negative.

I’ll be working full-time from home on zoom until the doctors clear me to return to in-person meetings.

If you haven’t gotten your booster, I encourage you to do that. When you get that positive Covid result, it’s a great relief to know you’re likely protected from serious symptoms."
