Billionaire Richard Branson went on social media on Thursday to say he is currently recovering from a "mild" COVID-19 case with his wife and family members after they tested positive for Omicron.
"Friends & family, including myself and my wife Joan, recently caught Omicron. Thanks to all being vaccinated and boosted, our symptoms have been mild. Can't stress enough - if you're eligible and in a country that offers boosters, get your booster now", said Branson.
In the same message, he apologized for not joining the Virgin Orbit team on Friday "in person to ring the bell at Nasdaq," but he was "excited to be there virtually celebrating with the team."
