Congressman Raul Grijalva announced this morning that he has tested positive for COVID.

“On Wednesday, I tested positive for COVID-19,” Grijalva said in a statement. “I am vaccinated, boosted, experiencing mild symptoms and remain in good spirits.”

Grijalva said he and his staff would test and quarantine under CDC recommendations and notify close contacts.

It’s Grijalva’s second bout with the illness after testing positive last summer.

“I urge Arizonans to get their vaccinations, booster shots and wear N95 masks or equivalent. We all have a role to play to protect our loved ones from COVID-19 and the risk of hospitalization, especially while Arizona is experiencing this surge.”

  1. He got covid a second time? How long has it been since the first time? I read where vaccinated where not as immune as were those that had prior infection. But he has had everything….and still got it again. CDC posted this:

    It is important to remember that some people with antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 may become infected after vaccination (vaccine breakthrough infection) or after recovering from a past infection (reinfected).-cdc.gov

  3. Maybe if he laid off the booze and payoffs and maybe lost some weight he wouldn’t be so susceptible.
