Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards is in quarantine after catching coronavirus.
The governor tested positive after taking a routine test after returning from a recent trip.
“Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, I have taken many precautions to avoid becoming infected and sick and spreading illness to those around me, including taking recommended vaccines, wearing masks and routinely testing for COVID. I am thankful that, as a vaccinated and twice boosted person, I am not currently experiencing symptoms of COVID despite having tested positive for the first time,” Gov. Edwards said.
Edwards added it's proof COVID is still out there and encouraged people to make sure they're vaccinated and boostered.
