Rep. Joe Wilson tests positive for Covid-19

 

US Rep. Joe Wilson announced Wednesday evening that he has tested positive for Covid-19 and will go into isolation through the holidays.

 

The South Carolina Republican, who spoke on the House floor earlier in the day, said in a statement: "Earlier this evening I learned that I have tested positive for COVID-19. I will be taking all necessary precautions, as directed by the House Physician."


"Thankfully I feel fine and do not have any symptoms. It is so important that we all do our part to help prevent the spread of this virus."


Wilson is the latest member to test positive for Covid-19. He was on Capitol Hill on Wednesday to vote and spoke on the House floor at 2 p.m. ET. He kept his face mask on following new rules from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that members must keep them on when they address the chamber from the floor.


Wilson, 73, joins a considerable number of lawmakers from both parties and chambers of Congress who have announced they've tested positive for Covid-19 in recent weeks. According to CNN's tally, 48 lawmakers -- 37 House members (26 Republicans, 11 Democrats) and 11 senators (nine Republicans and two Democrats) -- have tested positive for coronavirus or for its antibodies. Included in that total are two members who were diagnosed in March as "presumed positive" before tests were widely available.
