Norwich Mayor Nystrom tests positive for COVID-19
Norwich — Mayor Peter Nystrom’s schedule for the next several days was interrupted abruptly when he tested positive for COVID-19 at 1 p.m. Thursday.
Nystrom, who is vaccinated and has received one booster shot, said he has mild symptoms, like a head cold with no fever, and is in quarantine at home. He said his wife, Linda, received her second booster shot Thursday morning and did not test positive.
Nystrom was supposed to be a delegate to the state Republican convention on Friday night and Saturday at Foxwoods Resort Casino. He is seeking replacement delegates for the gubernatorial and attorney general candidate endorsements Friday and the U.S. Senate and other statewide offices on Saturday.
Nystrom will attend the City Council budget public hearing remotely on Monday and hopes to be recovered for the City Council's May 16 meeting.
