Tong announced on Wednesday, April 13 that he has become the latest to test positive for the virus, joining the likes of Gov. Ned Lamont, Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz, and state Treasurer Shawn T. Wooden.

Like Wooden, Tong said that he is experiencing mild symptoms, and he is isolating at home and plans to work from there for at least the next five days.

Tong's office noted that he is fully vaccinated and has received the COVID-19 booster shot, similar to the other three officials.

"Per CDC guidance, he will isolate and work from home for the next five days," his office said in a statement. “Attorney General Tong is fully vaccinated and boosted.”
