Former President Barack Obama said on Sunday he had tested positive for COVID-19 and was feeling fine other than a scratchy throat.
“I’ve had a scratchy throat for a couple days, but am feeling fine otherwise,” Obama wrote on Twitter.
“Michelle and I are grateful to be vaccinated and boosted, and she has tested negative,” he added.
The former president stressed the importance of getting the COVID-19 vaccine: “It’s a reminder to get vaccinated if you haven’t already, even as cases go down.”
Obama, America’s first Black president, served as the nation’s 44th commander-in-chief between 2009 and 2017.
