WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton announced Tuesday that she has tested positive for Covid-19.

The 74-year-old former United States secretary of state and 2016 presidential candidate, shared the news in a tweet stating that she was experiencing mild symptoms, reported United Press International (UPI).

"Well, I've tested positive for Covid. I've got some mild cold symptoms but am feeling fine," she wrote. "I'm more grateful than ever for the protection vaccines can provide against serious illness. Please get vaccinated and boosted if you haven't already."

Clinton added that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, tested negative and was not exhibiting symptoms. He was quarantining until their household "is fully in the clear."
