Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman tests positive after attack on US Capitol
U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, D-N.J. announced Monday that she has received a positive result for COVID-19 from a rapid antigen test and is awaiting results from a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test.
Coleman said she was forced to shelter in place with unmasked colleagues last week when a mob of President Donald Trump's supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C.
"Following the events of Wednesday, including sheltering with several colleagues who refused to wear masks, I decided to take a Covid test," Coleman, 75, wrote on Twitter. "I have tested positive."
