US Virgin Islands Governor Albert Bryan has tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).
Bryan’s office said his symptoms are mild and he is in good spirits.
This is the second time in less than a year that Bryan,54, has contracted the dreaded virus.
Bryan’s positive result prevented him from attending the swearing-in ceremony of the USVI’s 35th Legislature in person yesterday but he sent a congratulatory letter to the newly sworn-in Senators and expressed his desire to work with them for the betterment of the Territory.
“As this Legislature and the Bryan-Roach Administration begin our work, we have an opportunity, as we serve two co-equal branches of our government, to work together in building stronger families, more robust infrastructure, and a stronger US Virgin Islands. While the challenges that lie ahead are significant, I am confident in this body’s ability and that of our administration to make a positive impact while confronting these challenges,” Bryan wrote.
“I look forward to working with each of you toward improving the delivery of services to the people of our community and to effectuating meaningful reforms aimed at improving the quality of life for all Virgin Islanders.”
