A Florida sheriff has reported testing positive for the coronavirus but said he was doing OK, according to reports.

Bob Gualtieri, the sheriff in Pinellas County, tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday, according to the Tampa Times, which described him as a prominent national voice on crime and public safety.

“Doing fine. Thanks,” he said Saturday in a text, responding to a query from a Times reporter.

The officials said he was keeping in touch with his command staff from home, where he planned to work remotely for the next 10 days.

WFTS-TV reported that Gualtieri attended a gathering of sheriffs from across Florida in July and that he is now the 13th person with ties to that event to test positive for COVID-19, the station reported.

The total includes four of Gualtieri’s sheriff colleagues.

On Aug. 8, Gualtieri briefed reporters at a news conference on a shooting involving a St. Petersburg police officer who said she killed a man who was attacking her in an on-duty incident.
