Salt Lake City, Utah – On May 12, Governor Spencer Cox tested positive for COVID-19.
The governor began experiencing a scratchy throat late Wednesday night and tested positive on Thursday morning, according to representatives of the Governor’s Office.
Following his diagnosisGov. Cox plans to isolate himself for five days and wear a mask for 10 days, as enforced by health guidelines and his physician.
“So far, I feel fine,” Cox said Thursday. “Like so many Utahns, I’ve been vaccinated and boosted, but COVID eventually touches us all. If you feel sick, please stay away from others. And if you haven’t yet, please get vaccinated.”
