Sen. Rand Paul reports that he’s been retested and is now COVID-19 free and that he’s now volunteering in a local hospital:

I appreciate all the best wishes I have received. I have been retested and I am negative. I have started volunteering at a local hospital to assist those in my community who are in need of medical help, including Coronavirus patients. Together we will overcome this! pic.twitter.com/9SeypT7rL6

It’s tragic that so many health providers and first responders are getting COVID-19, but on the bright side, they’re expected to be immune from future infections and as Sen. Paul says, “together we will overcome this.”
