Double vaxxed and double boosted Governor, Janet Mills, gets covid.
Main's Governor, Janet Mills, tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday after developing a mild scratchy throat. She said she will monitor her symptoms and isolate for at least five days, consistent with Maine and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines..
I’m grateful for the strong protection that the vaccine has provided me, which I believe is one of the reasons why I am still feeling well,” Mills said.
The governor, who has been a staunch supporter of COVID vaccines, put in a vaccine plug for those Mainers who have not been vaccinated or have been contemplating a booster dose.
Several prominent Maine politicians have tested positive for COVID-19 in recent months. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, tested positive for the virus on April 7 and experienced mild symptoms. Rep. Jared Golden, D-2nd District, said in March that he had tested positive, and independent Sen. Angus King tested positive in August 2021. All three were fully vaccinated and boosted when they contracted COVID.
Maine Senate President Troy Jackson, D-Allagash, and Senate Majority Leader Eloise Vitelli, D-Arrowsic, said in September 2021 that they had tested positive for the virus. Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau, D-Biddeford, tested positive for COVID in late October 2021.
