Naples, Fla. — Florida Senator Rick Scott announced Friday that he tested positive for COVID-19.
Earlier this week the Senator said he had come into contact with someone who tested positive and chose to quarantine at his home in Naples.
Officials said he took several negative rapid tests, but a PCR test he took Tuesday came back positive this morning.
After several negative tests, I learned I was positive for COVID-19 this AM. I’m feeling good & experiencing very mild symptoms. I’ll be working from home until it’s safe for me to return to DC. I remind everyone to be careful & do the right things to protect yourselves & others.
