TEXAS Governor Greg Abbott has tested positive for Covid-19, according to a statement from his office on Tuesday.
The statement said the governor is fully vaccinated and is not currently experiencing symptoms.
“Governor Abbott is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, in good health, and currently experiencing no symptoms,” the statement said.
“Everyone that the Governor has been in close contact with today has been notified. Texas First Lady Cecilia Abbott tested negative.”
The release also said that the governor is tested daily for the virus.
Abbott will isolate in the governor’s mansion and continue to test daily, the statement said.
He’s being treated with Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody treatment.
Abbott’s positive results come after the governor forbade local authorities across the state from implementing coronavirus restrictions to slow the spread of the virus.
Texas is currently experiencing a spike in cases due to the Delta variant.
Despite that spike, Abbott shared photos of a large event he appeared at in Collin County on Monday night.
Most guests in the photos appear to be unmasked.
“Another standing room only event in Collin County tonight,” Abbott wrote, along with snaps of the event, on Twitter.
“Thank y’all for the enthusiastic reception. Let’s keep this energy up and send a message that Texas values are NOT up for grabs in 2022.”
