“#This morning, #Senator #Perdue was notified that he came into close contact with someone on the campaign who tested positive for COVID-19,” the campaign said in a statement. “#Both #Senator #Perdue and his wife tested negative today, but following his doctor’s recommendations and in accordance with CDC guidelines, they will quarantine. The #Senator and his wife have been tested regularly throughout the campaign, and the team will continue to follow CDC guidelines. #Further information will be provided when available.”
#If #Democrats win both seats, they will take back control of the #Senate next year, with a 50-50 tie broken by incoming #Vice #President-elect #Kamala #Harris. #Both #President-elect #Joe #Biden and #President #Donald #Trump are expected to campaign in #Georgia in the coming days.
#Perdue’s statement did not say for how long he would quarantine.
