Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has tested positive for COVID-19, his office
announced Wednesday morning.

Garcetti, who is fully vaccinated, “is feeling good and isolating in his hotel
room,” according to a statement posted on Twitter.

The mayor is attending a United Nations conference on climate change in Glasgow,
Scotland. He was originally set to moderate a panel Wednesday “on international
finance to support city climate action” before participating in another
discussion regarding solutions and challenges to tackling climate change,
according to a schedule released by his office.

Council President Nury Martinez will continue serving as acting mayor until
Garcetti returns, as she does whenever Garcetti is sick or traveling out of the
state.

The mayor was scheduled to return to L.A. on Thursday, but his diagnosis is
likely to force him to change those plans. Garcetti spokesman Alex Comisar said
the mayor took a diagnostic PCR test in advance of his return journey.

Comisar added that the mayor was regularly tested during the conference and
those previous tests had come back negative.

President Biden also appeared at the conference, but he and Garcetti didn’t
interact, a White House representative said.

According to general guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, individuals with asymptomatic COVID-19 should self-isolate for 10
days after their positive test. Those who develop symptoms should not end their
isolation period until 10 days after their symptoms first appeared, provided
they’ve been fever-free for 24 hours without the use of medication and their
other symptoms are improving.



In a statement Tuesday, the U.N. Climate Change secretariat noted that the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the U.K. host
government had “put many safety measures in place to protect the health of all
participants,” including “reducing access to many spaces within the venue to
ensure social distancing can be maintained as well as having to reduce the
security and registration lanes in line with COVID-19-related protocols.”

Garcetti, 50, got his first vaccine dose in January. At the time, he wasn’t in
line to receive the vaccine, but medical personnel recommended he get the shot
because he was working at Dodger Stadium as part of the city’s vaccination
effort.

It’s unclear at this point what specific vaccine Garcetti received, or whether
he had gotten a booster shot.

Garcetti’s young daughter tested positive for COVID-19 in December.

His positive test comes as many city employees in L.A. fight a new city law
requiring proof of COVID-19 vaccination as a condition of employment.

While Garcetti is the latest high-profile example of a post-vaccination
“breakthrough” case, health officials continue to maintain that getting
inoculated lessens the chance of infection and significantly reduces the
likelihood of severe COVID-19 illness.

Unvaccinated Californians are nearly seven times more likely to get COVID-19,
more than nine times more likely to be hospitalized and 18 times more likely to
die from the disease than their fully vaccinated counterparts, according to the
latest available state health data.

As of Oct. 26, nearly 5.85 million people had been fully vaccinated in L.A.
County, health figures show. Of those, 65,718, or 1.12%, later tested positive;
2,211, or 0.038%, became so ill that they had to be hospitalized; and 343, or
0.006%, died.

“All the information we have, including these numbers, signifies that the
vaccines continue to offer powerful protection against the most severe outcomes
of infection with this virus,” L.A. County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer
said last week.

Times staff writer Chris Megerian contributed to this report.
