U.S. Rep. David Trone (D-6) tested positive for COVID-19 on Jan. 15 and “is only experiencing mild symptoms,” he said.
“I’m fully vaccinated and boosted and am thankfully only experiencing mild symptoms. I’ll be voting by proxy this upcoming week so I can isolate and recuperate safely at home,” he wrote in a news release. “If one thing is clear, it’s that we must do everything we can to limit the impacts of COVID-19 and that means getting everyone vaccinated.”
He also tweeted, “In the meantime, I’ll use my saved commute time to continue telling folks to ‘GetVaccinated so we can finally end this damn pandemic!'”
