(Bloomberg) — Southwest Airlines Co. Chief Executive Officer Gary Kelly has tested positive for Covid-19, days after appearing with other airline industry executives at a U.S. Senate hearing.
The test came after Kelly’s appearance in Washington Wednesday, a Southwest spokesperson said Friday. It also followed a trip to New York last week in which Kelly spoke to a crowded audience at the Wings Club in Manhattan and met with groups of employees and others.
The CEO, who is fully vaccinated and has received a booster shot, has mild symptoms and is doing well, the company said.
