U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham has tested positive for the coronavirus, the first senator to disclose a breakthrough infection after being vaccinated.
In a statement issued Monday afternoon, the South Carolina Republican said that he started having flu-like symptoms Saturday night and went to the doctor Monday morning.
After being notified of his positive test, Graham said he would quarantine for 10 days. I feel like I have a sinus infection, and at present time, I have mild symptoms, the 66-year-old Graham said. I am very glad I was vaccinated because without vaccination, I am certain I would not feel as well as I do now. My symptoms would be far worse.
