Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced Monday she tested positive for COVID-19.
The mayor said in a tweet she has exhibited no symptoms.
“COVID-19 has literally hit home. I have had NO symptoms and have tested positive,†Bottoms, 50, wrote on Twitter.
Bottoms’ state of Georgia saw 1,548 new coronavirus cases Monday and 18 deaths, for a total of 97,064 cases and 2,878 deaths.
Bottoms, a possible Democratic vice presidential contender for Joe Biden, has been publicly dealing with the fallout from numerous protests in her city after a Black man, Rayshard Brooks, was shot and killed by an Atlanta police officer.
She delivered an impassioned press conference Sunday night, issuing a full-throated call for citizens to stop "shooting each other up on our streets," after an 8-year-old girl was shot and killed on the Fourth of July near the Wendy’s where Brooks was shot.
