ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Governor Larry Hogan announced that he tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday.

In a tweet, he said that he received a positive rapid test. He also said that he had been vaccinated and boosted and that he feels fine.

Governor Hogan issues a statement later in the evening:

“Just now, I received a positive PCR test result for COVID-19, following the positive rapid test this morning. I am experiencing some cold-like symptoms, and will continue to quarantine and work from home throughout the week. With the Omicron variant becoming increasingly dominant, I want to again urge Marylanders who haven’t yet to go out and get your booster shot as soon as possible.
