MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Pa. (CBS) -- The chair of the Montgomery County Commissioners, Dr. Val Arkoosh, tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday. In a statement, Arkoosh, who's also running for the U.S. Senate, says she is vaccinated and her symptoms are mild.
"This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19 using an at-home test. Fortunately, my symptoms are extremely mild, which I attribute to receiving the J&J vaccine and a Moderna booster," Arkoosh said in a statement.
Wear your masks. Wash your hands. Get vaccinated and boosted. And of course, thank a frontline worker the next time you have an opportunity.
