West Hollywood Mayor John D'Amico has tested positive for COVID-19 and is self-quarantining at home, according to a statement from a city spokesperson.
Here's more from the statement from Sheri A. Lunn, obtained by KPCC/LAist:
"The Mayor is taking every precaution as directed by his physician and public health directives. He is home resting and practicing an abundance of self-care. His husband is doing fine and is doing his part to quarantine at home with Mayor D’Amico. To facilitate their household’s focus on wellness, the Mayor is asking for privacy at this time."
