Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack announced Saturday that he tested positive for COVID-19.
Driving the news: "I’m both vaccinated and boosted and thankfully my symptoms are mild. If you have yet to get vaccinated and boosted, please don’t wait," he wrote in a tweet.
The big picture: Vilsack is the latest White House official to test positive for COVID-19 this week.
More than a dozen guests who attended the Gridiron Club dinner, a high-profile D.C. media event, last Saturday have tested positive in rapid succession. Vilsack reportedly attended the event, the Washington Post reports.
