TOPEKA, Kan. â Topeka Mayor and former congressional candidate Michelle De La Isla was diagnosed with COVID-19 last week and will be out of the office while she recovers from her illness.
The mayor said in a news release Tuesday that community spread in Topeka is high and her diagnosis proves that no matter how careful you are you can still get this virus.
She says she came in contact with the virus through a family member who is an essential worker.
De La Isla was the Democratic nominee for the Kansas District 2 seat in the U.S. House of Representatives,
