Tonawanda, NY (WBEN) - Town of Tonawanda Supervisor Joe Emminger has tested positive for Coronavirus.
Emminger made the positive test public in social media posts on Tuesday.
"After not feeling well since last Thursday I called my family doctor yesterday morning and he told me that I should go over to Kenmore Mercy to get tested for COVID, since I have an underlying health issue: I’m a diabetic," Emminger wrote in a Facebook post.
A Coronavirus test administered at the hospital came back positive. Emminger said that he does not know where he may have contracted it, since he has been social distancing for a month. Shortness of breath is his most prominent symptom.
"This is real and it’s no fun. Take every precaution available to protect yourself."
