Sen. Rand Paul reveals he contracted coronavirus
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., announced on Twitter that he contracted COVID-19.
The senator said he is asymptomatic and was tested out of an abundance of caution due to his travel history, according to the tweet.
"He was not aware of any direct contact with any infected person," the tweet said.
Paul's office said it has been operating remotely for the last 10 days and "virtually no staff has had contact" with the senator. He will be in quarantine, according to his staff.
Paul is the first U.S. senator to have contracted the virus. Two House of Representatives members, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., and Rep. Ben McAdam, D-Ut., tested positive for the disease last week.
