Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has tested positive for COVID-19 and will remain in isolation and follow public health guidelines, her office announced Friday.
Zach Seidl, a spokesman for Bass, told City News Service the mayor tested positive Thursday.
“Mayor Bass just announced for the first time in years that homelessness in L.A. City has decreased and street homelessness has dropped 10%, which is the largest drop in at least 9 years. She is doing fine,” Seidl said in an email.
