(St. Paul, MN) -- Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon says he's tested positive for COVID-19.  

He announced his results late Tuesday, saying he is fully vaccinated and has had a booster shot. Simon says he took a PCR test Saturday and has been quarantining, which he will continue for a full ten days. He says he feels fine and credits the vaccination and booster for his so-far mild case.  

Simon's positive test comes less that a week after Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced that he had contracted the virus.
