Harris County Precinct 1 Constable Alan Rosen received a positive coronavirus result May 23, a department spokesperson confirmed May 27.
Rosen, whose precinct covers parts of West and Northwest Houston, sought a test May 18 after developing a low-grade fever. Other than the minor fever, Rosen experienced no other symptoms, his spokesperson said.
“I appreciate everybody being so thoughtful and kind in sending well wishes,” Rosen said in a statement. “We will get past this. It is more important than ever to continue to wear a mask, wash your hands and socially distance.”
Rosen has been self-isolated and working remotely since taking the test and will return to his office once he receives two negative test results in a row with 24-hours in between each test. The first test will be administered May 28.
