Partner Of CO Gov Hospitalized With COVID [VIDEO]

Colorado Public Radio reports:

Gov. Jared Polis’ office announced Sunday evening that first gentleman Marlon Reis has entered the hospital because his COVID-19 infection appears to be growing more severe.

The press release said that in the previous 24 hours, Reis experienced shortness of breath and a worsening cough. Polis drove him to the hospital in his personal vehicle. The governor’s symptoms have not escalated, according to his office.

Polis and Reis tested positive for coronavirus eight days ago and went into isolation at home. Their symptoms were reportedly mild, until Reis worsened this weekend. Polis has continued to hold virtual press conferences, and on Thursday posted a video of himself signing bills from the special session, then spraying them with disinfectant.
