Senator Cory Booker tests positive for COVID-19

US Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) announced on Sunday that he had tested positive for COVID-19 in a breakthrough case.

“I learned today that I tested positive for COVID-19 after first feeling symptoms on Saturday. My symptoms are relatively mild. I’m beyond grateful to have received two doses of vaccine and, more recently, a booster – I’m certain that without them I would be doing much worse,” he wrote.

“I encourage everyone who is eligible to get vaccinated and boosted,” added Booker.
