Hidalgo said she tested negative Saturday before attending Houston's Pride Houston 365 Parade, but retested Sunday and came back positive.
HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo tested positive for COVID one day after attending Pride Houston’s 365 Parade downtown.
Hidalgo made the announcement on Twitter.
She said she tested negative on Saturday, the day of the parade, but retested on Sunday and it came back positive.
She said she’s isolating and feeling the “usual symptoms.”
Hidalgo said she is vaccinated and is also boosted to her age eligibility.
She was at the parade alongside local Rep. Sylvia Garcia.
I tested negative for COVID yesterday & chalked up the tiredness to long work hours. As an extra precaution, I retested today. I tested positive and am isolating. Feeling the usual symptoms—glad my tastebuds are intact! Thankfully, I’m vaccinated (and boosted to my eligibility).
