Supervisor Janice Hahn feeling ‘better’ following COVID diagnosis

Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn said Friday she is “feeling a lot better” after testing positive for COVID-19 roughly a week ago.

Hahn announced Tuesday that she had tested positive for the virus over the weekend, and she missed that day’s Board of Supervisors meeting.

On Friday, she wrote on Twitter, “8 days after my first symptoms and I am finally feeling a lot better. Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes and even dropped off chicken soup on my doorstep. It meant a lot.”

Hahn, 70, said she is fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19.

She has been on the Board of Supervisors since 2016. She previously served in Congress and spent a decade on the Los Angeles City Council.
