Lynch received a positive test result for Covid-19 after a staff member in the Congressman's Boston office had tested positive earlier in the week," Molly Rose Tarpey, a spokesperson for the lawmaker, said in a statement on Saturday.Tarpey said that Lynch plans to isolate and will vote by proxy over the coming week, the news outlet reported.He remains asymptomatic.According to the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC), it takes "a few weeks" for the body to build immunity after vaccination.This means that a person could be exposed just before or right after the jab and still get infected.ksk/( With inputs from IANS )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
