Second member of U.S. Congress tests positive for COVID-19

Representative Ben McAdams of Utah's 4th congressional district has tested positive for COVID-19 as the second member of U.S. Congress who got infected after Florida Republican Mario Diaz-Balart. 

"Today I learned that I tested positive," he said in a statement released on Twitter. "I am still working for Utahns and pursuing efforts to get Utahns the resources they need as I continue doing my job from home until I know it is safe to end my self-quarantine."

McAdams returned to Utah from Washington on March 14, developed flu-like symptoms, and was quarantined the next day. A new coronavirus test was conducted on Tuesday to confirm the diagnosis.
