This has been postponed to September 14.
Mendoza encouraged the public to stay on top of COVID vaccines and boosters “to be more opposed to the progression of severe or life-threatening symptoms. “
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced revised rules in August, reducing quarantine time after a positive control. The CDC now recommends those who test positive for five days.
After that, Americans can leave their homes but must wear a mask inside for five more days.
Mendoza is the Illinois leader in positive for the virus.
Gov. J. B. Pritzker was tested for the virus in mid-July and Secretary of State Jesse White was also tested on Aug. 25.
U. S. Senator Dick Durbin of Springfield was sidelined by COVID in late July.
Today I tested positive for COVID-19. I am excited and encouraged and grateful to feel only mild symptoms. This means I have to cancel an entire program of events, adding a deal on Illinois finances that I had to hand over to the City Club. . . #twill
Mendoza, a Chicago Democrat, is running this fall against Republican Shannon Teresi.
