PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A spokesperson for the State of New Jersey said Sunday that First Lady Tammy Murphy has tested positive for COVID-19.
She is asymptomatic, and she received the positive result through a rapid antigen test, per the spokesperson.
Gov. Phil Murphy and their family will test regularly for the next few days after the governor and their children already tested negative, according to a news release. They are also reportedly following COVID-19 reporting and contact tracing protocols.

CDC guidelines say that Gov. Murphy, who is vaccinated and boosted, is not required to quarantine, but he will wear a mask in public settings. He will hold his regularly scheduled Monday COVID-19 using a virtual format this week.
Officials said the governor and first lady tested themselves "due to a recent known non-family contact in their home."
