WASHINGTON (Reuters) — U.S. Rep. Adriano Espaillat on Thursday said he had tested positive for COVID-19, becoming the fourth member of Congress to announce they had contracted the novel coronavirus following a mob attack on the U.S. Capitol last week.
"I am following guidance from my physician and quarantining at home after having tested positive for COVID-19," the Democratic lawmaker wrote on Twitter.
