Republican Sens. Mitt Romney and Mike Lee on Sunday said they were going into self-quarantine after being exposed to Sen. Rand Paul, who tested positive for the coronavirus.
Both Utah lawmakers said they had been advised by doctors to isolate because of the amount of time they spent in proximity to Paul, of Kentucky, who announced his diagnosis on Sunday.
Romneys office added that the senator has no symptoms but will be tested.

Yes the Senate is now down five Republican votes due to coronavirus quarantines: Paul, Lee, Romney, Gardner of Colorado and Scott of Florida.
Whats the downside?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He’ll still be a Senator.
We have five Republican Senators in quarantine now leaving 48R 47D on the Senate floor and the wicked witch of San Francisco just landed back in DC. What a cluster.
I think Romney is posturing
He was interviewed in the open hallway of the Senate building talking to a reporter about this - not trying to avoid exposure
Rand Paul comes through!
Do I smell a conspiracy to undermine the republican’s senate bills by them not being there to vote? I don’t trust any of them.
Sorry for Rand Paul. Romney quarantined is a good thing.
Brave Sir Mitt ran away.
I think so too. Anything to hurt the President.
Hey Romney, RIP.
But the rest of us need to show symptoms first before being allowed to be tested? Kings and princes are exempt!
Well not really. Now we need 13 democrats votes to pass any bills. This is the worst. Although now we might get 6K each afterall.
Trump getting roasted for that
on Twitter.Someone from MSNBC
or something said “he’s joking
about what one of our
colleagues died from”.
Libs who said nasty things
about McCain and Romney now
show them deep respect once each
of them came out as Never
Trumpers.
Yeah, yeah, those same people were calling Romney “Hitler” in 2012.
Good riddance to Pierre Delecto.......for now, anyway!
That is nasty. I am going to have to look at something else now.
I need a new laptop as well.
How old is Romney?
On hearing about Romney Trump said...”that’s a shame”.
I laughed out loud and had to run back so I could listen to hear him say it again!
When Rand found out why didnt he sweep through the Dems really fast before going home a missed opportunity!!!
