Whitmer's husband tests positive for COVID; governor isolating pending test results
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is awaiting the results of a COVID-19 test after her husband, first gentleman Marc Mallory, earlier Tuesday tested positive for the virus.
Whitmer's office said Mallory tested positive for the virus "after feeling under the weather." Whitmer tested negative for the virus after taking a rapid test but is awaiting the results of a PCR.
"Like so many families around the country, the governor and her husband took extra precautions to limit contact with others to stay safe over the holidays as they celebrated Christmas with their immediate family members in Michigan," said Bobby Leddy, a spokesman for Whitmer. "Thankfully, the entire family is fully vaccinated and boosted, so the governor has not tested positive and is not experiencing symptoms."
Whitmer is isolating in a separate area of the governor's Lansing home until her PCR results come back, Leddy said. She also is working to communicate to all those with whom she's recently come into contact.
Whitmer's office said she continues to work to increase testing access, encourage vaccination and masks and secure treatments like monoclonal antibodies.
