Washington Gov. Inslee tests positive for COVID-19 with ‘very mild symptoms’

SEATTLE — Gov. Jay Inslee has tested positive for COVID-19 and is experiencing “very mild symptoms,” including a cough, his office announced Wednesday.

Inslee, who is fully vaccinated and has had two booster shots, took a rapid antigen test that came back positive Wednesday, his office said in a news release. He is working from home and consulting with his doctors to set up antiviral treatments.

“I am experiencing very mild symptoms and am most glad I’m vaccinated and boosted,” Inslee, 71, said in a statement. “I hope others consider getting their booster because it’s very effective in preventing serious illness.”
