Bill Gates tests positive for COVID
Bill Gates tested positive for COVID on Tuesday and said his symptoms were mild.
“I’m fortunate to be vaccinated and boosted and have access to testing and great medical care,” the Microsoft co-founder tweeted.
Gates, 66, added he was “following the experts’ advice by isolating until I’m healthy again.”
He did not speculate on where he may have been infected. Gates appeared on the “Today” show last week to discuss his shocking split from his wife of 27 years, Melinda French Gates.
Gates was also a leading advocate for COVID vaccines and played a role in distributing them worldwide.
“The Gates Foundation is coming together today for the first time in two years, and I am lucky to be on Teams to see everyone and thank them for their hard work,” Bill tweeted. “We will continue working with partners and do all we can to ensure none of us have to deal with a pandemic again.”
