Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) Has Tested Positive for COVID-19<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has tested positive for COVID-19, his office announced in a statement:<\/p>\n

“Senator Rand Paul has tested positive for COVID-19. He is feeling fine and is in quarantine. He is asymptomatic and was tested out of an abundance of caution due to his extensive travel and events. He was not aware of any direct contact with any infected person. He expects to be back in the Senate after his quarantine period ends and will continue to work for the people of Kentucky at this difficult time. Ten days ago, our D.C. office began operating remotely, hence virtually no staff has had contact with Senator Paul.”<\/p>\n

We want to be clear, Senator Paul left the Senate IMMEDIATELY upon learning of his diagnosis. He had zero contact with anyone & went into quarantine. Insinuations such as those below that he went to the gym after learning of his results are just completely false & irresponsible! t.co\/yqfxydsXBG<\/a><\/p>\n

NPR notes<\/a>: “Paul, a physician, was one of eight Republican senators who voted against<\/a> a coronavirus relief package last week, after the Senate opposed his efforts to offset spending on the legislation.”<\/p>\n
