Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey quarantined for a short time after someone at an event he was at tested positive for COVID-19.

He received an e-mail from that person Monday morning and by late evening received a negative test result, according to Tara Niebeling, the mayor's communications adviser. He attended the event last week.

Frey is fully vaccinated and did not experience any symptoms, according to Niebeling.
