Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) has tested positive for coronavirus. Cassidy, a physician, reportedly was informed Wednesday evening that he had been in contact with a person who had contracted the virus, and he received his test Thursday. Cassidy is now following the 14-day quarantine procedure. “I am strictly following the direction of our medical experts and strongly encourage others to do the same,” Cassidy said. Cassidy has been a consistent voice in support of wearing masks, but does not support a national mandate.
