The Senator Kentucky reportedly has the coronavirus. Rand Paul’s fice announced Sunday afternoon that he has tested positive for COVID-19, making him the first senator and the third known member Congress to test positive for the coronavirus.

In a tweet Paul’s account, the Kentucky senator’s fice said that after being tested out “an abundance caution” in light his extensive travel and events, he is feeling “fine” and asymptomatic while being in quarantine.

Paul’s fice added that the Kentucky senator was unaware being in direct contact with anyone diagnosed with COVID-19. He expects to be back in the Senate after his quarantine period ends. See his tweets (below).

Paul was the only senator to vote against the first round an $8.3 billion emergency coronavirus bill last month. He’s also one only eight senators who voted against paid sick leave in a stimulus package that was approved with a 90-8 vote last week. Paul is also a licensed medical pressional in Kentucky. 

The report comes just days after two House members, Reps. Ben McAdams (D-UT) and Diaz-Balart (R-FL), announced last week that they contracted COVID-19, making them the first members Congress to come down with the coronavirus. We’ll continue to keep you posted with this Covid-19 pandemic moving forward. Stay safe.
