ATLANTA — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams has tested positive for COVID-19, her campaign announced Wednesday.
Abrams, who is challenging Republican Gov. Brian Kemp’s bid for a second term, tested positive for the virus Wednesday morning after testing negative both Monday and Tuesday.
“She is fully vaccinated and boosted and experiencing mild symptoms,” according to a statement from the campaign. “Consistent with [federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] guidelines, she will isolate at home and looks forward to traveling across the state to meet Georgians as soon as possible.”
Abrams’ negative test on Tuesday came before she delivered a speech on the economy in Atlanta. The positive test showed up so quickly because she tests for COVID-19 daily.
There was no word Wednesday on when Abrams might be able to get back to the campaign trail.
She will blame it on republicans. Maybe she should have kept her mask on when she posed with the school children. But that would have ruined the photo op.
