Richmond Times-Dispatch: Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, first lady Pam Northam test positive for COVID-19
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and first lady Pam Northam tested positive for COVID-19 Thursday afternoon, the administration announced Friday.
Northam said, “On Wednesday evening, @FirstLadyVA and I were notified that a member of our official residence staff had developed symptoms and tested positive for #COVID19. We both received PCR nasal swab tests yesterday and both tested positive.”
As I have been reminding Virginians throughout this crisis, #COVID19 is very real and very contagious.
We are grateful for your thoughts and support, but the best thing you can do for us—and most importantly, for your fellow Virginians—is to take this virus seriously.
