Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has tested positive for COVID-19 and says she will be working from home during her isolation period after experiencing mild symptoms.
The mayor's breakthrough case comes one day after she struck a deal with the Chicago Teachers' Union (CTU), which kept schools closed for four days as they demanded better COVID-19 safety policies amid the Omicron surge.
In a tweet Tuesday afternoon, Lightfoot revealed she had tested positive and will be in quarantine until she tests negative.
'I am experiencing cold-like symptoms but otherwise feel fine which I credit to being vaccinated and boosted,' Lightfoot wrote on Twitter.
'I will continue to work from home while following the CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] guidelines for isolation.'
Lightfoot warned that her case was a reminder for people to get vaccinated and boosted.
The Windy City reported 4,793 new COVID cases on Tuesday, a slight drop from the average 5,189 cases a day the city saw last week. Deaths remained low at 17 new cases.
Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady warned residents that the Omicron surge is still on going despite the drop in daily cases.
'This is still a very bad surge and I don't want people to think otherwise,' Arwady said on Tuesday.
'I really don't want people to think sort of it's over, it is extremely not over.'
Arwady has said that while the city is experiencing a rise in cases, students are relatively safer in schools and advised that schools not shutdown over COVID.
The winter Omicron surge led to the Chicago Teachers' Union to enact what the mayor and school officials called 'an illegal strike' as they demanded the city implement additional COVID-19 regulations for in-person classes.

Troglodytes can catch Covid ?
here’s hoping!
Not to be cynical about Mayor Fisheyes’ health, but I wonder if she visited any Drag Bars over the weekend and caught some other kind of bug.
Expressionless face: Parkinson’s or other neurodegenerative disease.
I wonder what the settlement with the teacher’s union was?
What’s with all these Democrats getting covid recently?
I think it’s to push an agenda. They all claim to be triple vaccinated, test positive and then tell people it would have been worse if they weren’t vaccinated. Then they praise and continue to push the shots. It sounds like they’re all reading from the same playbook.
She looks really ill. But that’s her natural look.
She’s ill ... mentally ill!
Many people test perpetually positive after the vaccine.
Hobgoblin Lightfoot once upon a time looked more like a real person instead of a Beetlejuice cosplayer.
That alone is...shocking.
How many times has she been vaccinated?
I must not type what I am thinking…
Someone really captured her lack of humanity.
