US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin tested positive for coronavirus Monday morning, he said in a statement. “This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19. I am experiencing mild symptoms, and will quarantine at home for the next five days in accordance with CDC guidelines. I will retain all authorities and plan to maintain my normal work schedule virtually from home,” he pointed out.
“My last in-person contact with the President was on July 29,” the US official added.
President Joe Biden had first tested positive for the virus on July 21 and ended his quarantine following negative tests on July 27. The president’s case then rebounded with another positive test on July 30. “Vaccinations continue to both slow the spread of COVID-19 and to make its health effects less severe. Vaccination remains a medical requirement for our workforce, and I continue to encourage everyone to get fully vaccinated and boosted,” the Defense Secretary said.
