Illinois Senate President Don Harmon (D-Oak Park) announced Friday that Chief of Staff Jake Butcher is recovering from a mild breakthrough case of COVID-19.

Butcher experienced symptoms earlier this week. He immediately self-isolated and sought testing. Contact tracing was implemented upon receiving the result.

Butcher was vaccinated this spring.

Harmon, who had a mild breakthrough case in August, reminded the public to remain vigilant against virus.

“I encourage everyone to get vaccinated but to also continue to take safety precautions and not let their guard down as we try to get back to normal,” Harmon said.
