(CNN) — Colorado Democratic Gov. Jared Polis and his spouse have tested positive for Covid-19 and are both asymptomatic, according to a statement from the governor's office.

"This evening, Governor Polis and First Gentleman (Marlon) Reis learned that they have tested positive for COVID-19," the statement reads.

Both are feeling well and will continue to isolate in their home, according to the statement.

"Marlon and I are feeling well so far, and are in good spirits. No person or family is immune to this virus. I urge every Coloradan to practice caution, limit public interactions, wear a mask in public, stay six feet from others, and wash your hands regularly," Polis said.

that ANYONE in political positions that have to be "out in the public" like the they are, in a myriad of settings, need to be wearing N95s. When you have workers also exposed, they tend to be in specific geolocated "bubbles" (a store, medical facility, office building, warehouse, transit vehicle, etc), where these politicians are all over the place.

Hoping he and his husband will recover quickly and without the ravages that this disease can inflict.
