Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, just hours after her late-night press conference to announce students would soon be able to return to school.
The Democratic mayor announced she was experiencing coldlike symptoms and isolating at home.
“Earlier today, I tested positive for COVID-19,” Lightfoot said. “I am experiencing cold-like symptoms but otherwise feel fine which I credit to being vaccinated and boosted. I will continue to work from home while following the CDC guidelines for isolation.”
