Zuckerman’s spouse tested positive on Monday morning, and he and his family took immediate steps to isolate. Out of an abundance of caution, he immediately began testing, masking and distancing from others.

On Wednesday evening he received a positive test result. Zuckerman will abstain from in-person events until he can safely participate based on health department guidance and medical advice. Zuckerman has received both his COVID vaccines and two boosters.

“I am grateful that because I am vaccinated and boosted, my symptoms are relatively mild. I look forward to the opportunity to visit with Vermonters in person again soon,” said Zuckerman.
