Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who is quadruple vaxxed, has tested positive for COVID-19 for the second time.
On Monday morning he announced the COVID diagnosis and said he will be quarantined at home for the next five days. “I will retain all authorities and plan to maintain my normal work schedule virtually from home,” Austin announced.
Austin, 69, also reported that he is experiencing “mild symptoms,” saying, “My doctor told me that my fully vaccinated status, including two booster shots, is why my symptoms are less severe than would otherwise be the case. I will continue to consult closely with my doctor in the coming days.”
“Vaccinations continue to both slow the spread of COVID-19 and to make its health effects less severe. Vaccination remains a medical treatment for our workforce, and I continue to encourage everyone to get fully vaccinated and boosted,” added the Defense Secretary.
