SALT LAKE CITY (AP)-Utah Gov. Spencer Cox has tested positive for COVID-19, per a Thursday announcement from his office.
Cox tested after developing a scratchy throat late Wednesday night, officials said in a statement. He plans to isolate for five days and wear a mask for 10 days.
Cox said he’s been vaccinated and boosted. “So far, I feel fine,” he said in a statement.
He has had several public appearances this week Tuesday and Wednesday, but said few people were close enough to him to potentially be exposed. The “small number” of people who were within 6 feet of him for 15 minutes or more will be notified.
His family has said they plan to wear masks during this same time as well.
