I currently have no symptoms, and I’m grateful that being vaccinated protects against serious illness. I encourage everyone to keep doing all they can to keep each other safe. pic.twitter.com/cfrs7Fvlxt
Gilchrist has been a vocal proponent of vaccinations and other COVID-19 mitigation efforts. He has previously stated that he has lost several members of his family to the illness.
The news comes just day after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s husband tested positive for COVID-19. Whitmer tested negative for the virus later in the week.
