San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo on Thursday said he tested positive for COVID-19 — his second bout with the virus in two months.
“Symptoms are minor, with intermittent grumpiness,” he said in a tweet Thursday evening. “My apologies to anyone I might have exposed in recent hours or days — please test and follow CDC guidelines.”
I regret to report that I’ve just tested positive for COVID—again. Symptoms are minor, with intermittent grumpiness. My apologies to anyone I might have exposed in recent hours or days—please test and follow CDC guidelines.

The mayor had previously tested positive in May, three days after he was seen without a mask at Game 2 of the NBA Western Conference finals at the Chase Center in San Francisco. At that time, he expressed thanks that his vaccination had prevented serious symptoms. He encouraged people to get vaccinated, mask inside and take advantage of free COVID tests.
Santa Clara County has seen a spike in COVID cases this summer — a trend felt throughout the Bay Area. Earlier Thursday evening, citing high rates of COVID transmission, BART’s board of directors reinstated the transit agency’s mask mandate.
