Calumet City Mayor Thaddeus Jones, who is also a state representative, tested positive Friday for COVID-19 during a regular test, according to a city spokesman.

Jones has been vaccinated and is in quarantine at home and experiencing “very minimal complications,” according to Sean Howard. His family also has been vaccinated.

Howard said Jones is usually tested every three days and had tested negative as of Tuesday and had not been in City Hall since. Staff members, who have been vaccinated, have been notified of the positive test, according to Howard.

Jones was one of the House Democrats who did not respond to WBEZ’s inquiry about his vax status and he didn’t reach out to me, either. I just updated the post I did about the story, and it looks to me like there may be only one unvaxed House Democrat, not the 11 originally listed.

…Adding… Rep. Rita Mayfield just emailed to say she “never received an inquiry regarding my status but for the record I’m fully vaxed!!” So, yeah, we’re waiting on just one House Democrat at the moment.
