On June 6th, US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg announced that he had tested positive for COVID-19 and is experiencing mild symptoms.
Buttigieg tweeted, “I plan to work remotely while isolating according to CDC guidelines, and look forward to when I can safely return to the office and the road.”

The Detroit Regional Chamber has stated that all 1,347 attendees and support staff had provided the required proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 PCR test report to attend the event.
