Bill Gates experiencing mild symptoms after testing positive for COVID

Bill Gates said Tuesday he was experiencing mild symptoms after testing positive for COVID-19.

"I've tested positive for COVID. I'm experiencing mild symptoms and am following the experts' advice by isolating until I'm healthy again," he posted on Twitter.

Gates said he was fortunate to be vaccinated and boosted and to have access to testing and "great medical care."

"The Gates Foundation is coming together today for the first time in two years, and I am lucky to be on Teams to see everyone and thank them for their hard work," he said. 

"We will continue working with partners and do all we can to ensure none of us have to deal with a pandemic again."
