CHICAGO (AP) — Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza has tested positive for COVID-19. Mendoza’s office says she tested positive Sunday morning.

It says she’s vaccinated and boosted and thankful to be experiencing just mild symptoms.

Mendoza has canceled a full schedule of events, including an important address about Illinois’ finances she was scheduled to deliver to the City Club of Chicago on Tuesday. That event is being rescheduled for Sept. 14 in downtown Chicago.

Mendoza encourages everyone to stay up to date on their COVID vaccinations and boosters to be best protected against developing serious or life-threatening symptoms.
