GOP senators extremely concerned about Rand Paul contracting coronavirus From CNN’s Phil Mattingly
Senate Republicans expressed their concern after emerging from a closed-door lunch where they received news that Sen. Rand Paul had tested positive for coronavirus.
Three different GOP senators told CNN that Paul was in the gym with colleagues this morning and several pointed out how close the Kentucky senator had sat to others during Senate lunches in recent days.
“This is a different ballgame now,” one Republican senator told CNN. Senate Majority Whip John Thune, of South Dakota, said on the Senate floor that senators will be seeking medical advice.
“We’ll consult with the attending physician here at the capitol about appropriate measures for those of us who have been in contact with the senator, but this is the kind of situation that Americans across the country are dealing with right now and it underscores the importance of acting immediately to deliver more relief for the American people,” Thune said.
Sen. Mitt Romney, of Utah, echoed similar concerns to reporters.
“All the senators are going to seek medical advice as to what action we should take to make sure that we don't in any way spread this virus ourselves,” Romney told reporters. “We had a lunch together with Rand, and hope he's doing very well, but we have to determine whether any of us should self-quarantine as a result of being in the same room.”
