In a statement released by the Senator’s Office, Caine (D-Va.) Said he had a fever earlier this year, but the symptoms persisted after he was prescribed standard medications to treat him.

“By the end of March, I was experiencing new symptoms that I initially thought were a reaction to flu residues and unusually high spring pollen counts.

After Kaine’s wife Anne fell ill, the senator told her doctors in early April that they were both suffering from mild coronavirus.

“We were both at home in Richmond [after getting the news], Working remotely and being isolated from others. Due to a lack of national testing, we were not tested for the virus, but continued to isolate and watch for the worsening of symptoms. By mid-April we were without symptoms, ”he continued.

Kaine said they both tested positive for antibodies this month but did not specify when.

Despite the positive test, Cairns plans to take the necessary safety precautions to prevent further spread of the virus.

The halls of the Capitol. Current guidelines would not have invited me to experiment or isolate. Because of my concern for my lungs being damaged, my extra precaution was to put me to the test. “
