In a Facebook live video chat from his home Monday evening, State Senator Doug Mastriano (R-33) confirmed he tested positive for COVID-19 while at the White House last week.
The senator said, “I am quarantining for a designated time,” and described his symptoms as “pretty mild.” He went on to say, “The quarantine will end pretty quick since we know the exposure.”
