Three US senators from different parts of the country said they have tested positive for the coronavirus. The senators, who were all vaccinated, are among the 71 members of Congress to be diagnosed with Covid-19 since the beginning of last year, according to the nonpartisan group GovTrack. "I've tested positive for a breakthrough case of Covid-19.
I feel good but will isolate per docs instructions," Senator John Hickenlooper, 69, said on Twitter. "I'm grateful for the vaccine," the Colorado Democrat added, as he encouraged other people to get the shot.
Republican Senator Roger Wicker, 70, also tested positive "after immediately seeking a test due to mild symptoms," his office said in a statement.
