Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens announced Tuesday morning that he has tested positive for COVID-19 again.
Dickens said on Twitter that he plans to conduct virtual meetings from home for the next few days until he tests negative. He assured residents that he’s planning resume his normal work routine real soon.
“I am feeling fine,” Dickens said in his Twitter video. “I have minor symptoms, and I think that’s because I am vaccinated and I’m boosted so I encourage you to also be vaccinated and boosted.”
A spokesman from the mayor’s office said Dickens has mild, cold-like symptoms.
In December, a then-Mayor-Elect Dickens announced he had coronavirus after he received a positive test result on Dec. 20. He went on to test negative for COVID on Dec. 30, days before his inauguration on Jan. 3.
