The moth­er of Pres­i­dent Paula-Mae Weekes has con­tract­ed COVID-19.

Ac­cord­ing to a state­ment from the Of­fice of the Pres­i­dent, Her Ex­cel­len­cy has since been placed in­to quar­an­tine as a pre­cau­tion.

Pres­i­dent Weekes’ moth­er, Phyl­lis, is 92 and lives with her daugh­ter.

The Of­fice of the Pres­i­dent said, “The good news is Her Ex­cel­len­cy’s moth­er, who was vac­ci­nat­ed and boost­ed, ex­pe­ri­enced on­ly mild symp­toms and is now symp­tom-free but still be­ing mon­i­tored care­ful­ly.”

It said Pres­i­dent Weekes, al­so vac­ci­nat­ed and boost­ed, con­tin­ues to test neg­a­tive and is work­ing from home dur­ing the quar­an­tine pe­ri­od.

How­ev­er, her of­fice said there will be no video Christ­mas mes­sage this year from Her Ex­cel­len­cy as a re­sult.

This is not the first time the Pres­i­dent has been in quar­an­tine.

In Sep­tem­ber of 2020, Pres­i­dent Weekes went in­to self-quar­an­tine af­ter her aide-de-camp test­ed pos­i­tive for COVID-19.
