Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas tested positive Tuesday for COVID-19 and is isolating at home, the agency said.
The secretary has been fully vaccinated and is experiencing only “mild congestion,” DHS said in a statement.
The agency said he will work from home under the protocols recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease and Prevention.
DHS said contract tracing is being done to check for possible exposure among others.
Mayorkas was with President Joe Biden Saturday at the annual National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service at the Capitol, standing on the podium between first lady Jill Biden and FBI Director Christopher Wray.

Why is this a story altogether?
He was vaxxed so that why he’s doing ok…oh wait, 99% of those who get covid recover fully, many experiencing mild flu-like symptoms and some don’t have any symptoms. But it doesn’t matter, it would definitely would have been worse would he not have gotten the vaccine.
