Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker said Sunday that they had tested positive for COVID-19. Warren tweeted that she tests regularly for COVID-19, and while she tested negative last week, she tested positive on Sunday.
"Thankfully, I am only experiencing mild symptoms & am grateful for the protection provided against serious illness that comes from being vaccinated & boosted," Warren tweeted.
Booker said in a statement that he had experienced mild symptoms on Saturday, and he learned he tested positive on Sunday.
"Fortunately, my symptoms are relatively mild," the senator from New Jersey said. "I'm beyond grateful to have received two doses of vaccine and, more recently, a booster I'm certain that without them I would be doing much worse. I encourage everyone who is eligible to get vaccinated and boosted."

Heard about Warren earlier. This is the first I've heard about Booker.
