U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes has tested positive for coronavirus.



 U.S. Representative Jahana Hayes has tested positive for coronavirus  on Sunday and has reportedly decided to quarantine for 14 days, she said on Twitter.

"I have taken every possible precaution and still contracted coronavirus," Hayes said in a tweet.

Hayes became the latest member of the Congress to test for COVID-19. She is asymptomatic except for breathing issues, which were being monitored.

At least 17 other members of the U.S. House Representative and Senate - nine Republicans and seven Democrats - have tested positive or are presumed to have had COVID-19.

Hayes on Twitter said that though mask-wearing, social distancing and cleaning precautions are taken in the House of Representatives, members of Congress are not regularly tested for COVID-19.
