“Update: my 5 year old son, my wife Alice, and I have all tested positive for COVID-19. Our son has a runny nose and low grade fever but is otherwise eating, drinking, playing with his sister, and watching his favorite cartoons,” Murthy tweeted. “My four year old daughter who tested positive first is doing ok. Fevers are starting to improve. She\u2019s still congested and is now hoarse from all the coughing, but thankfully she\u2019s still smiling and enjoying her arts and crafts.”<\/p>\n

Murthy is vaccinated and boosted, and his symptoms are “mild,” he said: muscle aches, chills and sore throat. Murthy said his whole family who is eligible is also vaccinated earlier this week, and tweeted Friday that his family members also have mild symptoms. <\/p>\n
