One of Lake County’s members of Congress reported he has tested positive for COVID-19.
Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-05) revealed his diagnosis on Wednesday.
“After taking a regular PCR test, I have tested positive for COVID-19,” he said in the Wednesday statement.
“Thanks to being fully vaccinated and receiving both booster shots, I am experiencing only mild symptoms. I will be working from home and my office remains fully open to serve the people of our district,” Thompson said.
“As COVID-19 continues to evolve, I recommend every American to get their updated COVID-19 vaccine and booster to stay healthy and protect their friends and families,” he added.
Thompson currently represents California’s Fifth Congressional District, which includes all or part of Contra Costa, Lake, Napa, Solano and Sonoma counties.
Last week, Thompson was elected to the newly redrawn Fourth Congressional District, which will include all of Lake County, rather than just the county’s southern half, as his current district does.
