(AP) — Maui Mayor Michael Victorino says he tested negative for COVID-19 after seeing on social media that opponents of pandemic safety rules he met with earlier tested positive. Victorino met last week with three unvaccinated residents opposed to state and county emergency public health rules meant to curb the spread of the virus. He says the three residents had negative test results prior to the meeting, but two of them later tested positive. He says he’s disappointed no one reached out to his office to let him know he was exposed. He says he found out from a social media post.
