President of Jackson Health System tests positive for COVID-19

MIAMI (WSVN) - The president of Jackson Health System has tested positive for the coronavirus.

President and CEO Carlos A. Migoya said he was tested after being exposed to people with COVID-19.

Migoya’s own test came back positive last week, he said in a statement.

He said he has felt no symptoms but decided to take the test at the request of physician leaders because of his exposure to patients with the virus.

“I chose to keep this private because I did not want to take any focus away from the nurses, doctors, technicians, environmental workers, food-service staff, and others who are putting themselves on the front lines of this crisis every day,” Migoya said.

Migoya will be able to do his job fully from home while self-isolating.

As of 4 p.m., Monday, hospitals across the Jackson Health System have admitted 67 patients with COVID-19.
