LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – COVID-19 has now hit the home of Michigan’s first family.
The Associated Press is reporting that Governor Gretchen Whitmer was isolating from her husband in their home Tuesday after he tested positive for COVID-19.
According to spokesperson Bobby Leddy, the governor, who was not experiencing symptoms, had a negative rapid test and was awaiting the results of a PCR lab test out of an abundance of caution. Marc Mallory, whose home test came back positive after he became sick, was waiting for confirmation from a PCR test.
Both Whitmer and her 61-year-old husband are fully vaccinated and have received a booster shot.
Leddy said they took extra precautions over the holidays to limit contact with others as they celebrated Christmas with immediate family members in Michigan.
