The Mayor of Houston Sylvester Turner has tested positive for COVID-19.
The 67-year-old tweeted on Friday afternoon that after feeling unwell and suffering from what he believed were allergy symptoms or a sinus infection, he opted to get tested.
"Before and after getting my test results, I canceled all events for today and the weekend," Turner tweeted. "My symptoms are mild, and I will spend the next several days isolating myself at home and getting some rest."
According to KHOU 11, the mayor's office had said that Turner is fully vaccinated. He has also received the booster.
