WASHINGTON, March 22, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Rand Paul has become the first US
senator to test positive for the new coronavirus, the Republican lawaker’s
office said Sunday.
Paul is asymptomatic, “feeling fine and is in quarantine,” a staffer wrote
on the senator’s Twitter feed.
US senators are currently negotiating a multi-trillion-dollar rescue
package to help the US economy hit hard by the novel coronavirus pandemic.
