CHICAGO – Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and all senior administration officials will be working from home for an undetermined period of time after an aide tested positive for COVID-19.

Pritzker has twice tested negative, with the last test administered Sunday.

All other senior staff members also have tested negative.

The employee, who tested positive late last week, showed no symptoms and was in close proximity to Pritzker. Roughly 20 members of the governor’s administration have been working from a downtown Chicago building.

Officials say that their office will undergo deep cleaning, and staff are monitoring themselves for symptoms.
