Lieutenant Governor Brian Benjamin tested positive for COVID-19 Sunday, the state’s second-in-command revealed in a social media post.
The politician said his symptoms were mild and that he had been vaccinated and boosted.
“I tested positive for COVID today. Thankfully, I’m vaxxed, boosted, and in good spirits, since I’m only experiencing mild symptoms,” Benjamin wrote on Twitter on Feb. 20.
The former Harlem state Senator said his wife Cathleen and their two daughters, Caroline and Olivia, tested negative and that he’ll be isolating over the coming days.
