Kentucky lawmaker tests positive for COVID-19

FRANKFORT, Ky. -- A Kentucky lawmaker who heads a key education committee revealed Monday night that he has tested positive for the coronavirus.

In a Twitter post, Republican state Sen. Max Wise said he began experiencing “very mild symptoms" last Thursday and was tested the next day. Both tests came back positive, he said.

Since then, he has “felt fine" and is no longer experiencing any symptoms, he said.

“I am thankful that I am one of the lucky ones who has not had to deal with the hardships that others have faced upon being diagnosed," Wise said in the statement. “Like the health care community recommends, I will be self-quarantining until I am released by my local health department and staying away from others in the confines of my home."
