Multiple Senators Test Positive For COVID-19

Multiple U.S. Senators announced they tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday.

U.S. Sen. Angus King of Maine tested positive for COVID-19 in his home state on Thursday, a day after he began feeling ill, his office announced. King, an independent, said he’s definitely “not feeling great” but said he’s doing better than he would if he hadn’t been vaccinated. “I am taking this diagnosis very seriously, quarantining myself at home and telling the few people I’ve been in contact with to get tested in order to limit any further spread,” King said in a statement.
