UH-OH! Democrat Rep. Velazquez Tests Positive for Coronavirus — Was with 80-Year-Old Pelosi Three Days Earlier

Democrat Rep. Nydia Velazquez joined Speaker Pelosi on Friday for the roll out of the $2 trillion coronavirus bailout bill.

The New York Democrat announced on Monday she “presumed coronavirus infection.”

Nancy Pelosi turned 80 earlier this month.

FOX News reported:

Rep. Nydia Velazquez, D-N.Y., said Monday that she has been diagnosed “with presumed coronavirus infection” but added that her symptoms so far have been mild.

“In the wee hours of Sunday morning, I began to feel under the weather,” Velazquez said in a statement. “I developed the abrupt onset of muscle aches, fevers, nasal congestion and stomach upset. I noticed that I could no longer smell my perfume or taste my food. After speaking with The Attending Physician by phone, I was diagnosed with presumed coronavirus infection.”
