Rhode Island Lt. Gov. Sabina Matos tweeted Tuesday that she has tested positive for Covid.
I tested positive for COVID-19. I have very few symptoms & attribute that to being fully vaccinated & boosted. While in quarantine, I will be keeping in touch with my staff & participating in meetings virtually. I encourage all Rhode Islanders to get their booster shot.
