Dyer said he experienced cold-like symptoms Thursday evening.

He took two rapid antigen at-home COVID tests which revealed the positive tests.

“I have cancelled all appointments and events for the next few days,” Dyer wrote. “In the meantime, I intend to telework as there is much to do in advance of budget roll-out.”

Dyer said he has mild symptoms and will follow health protocols.
