"Last night, I learned my campaign team was potentially exposed to Coronavirus last week. Out of an abundance of caution and concern for my children and my team, I was tested for COVID-19," Nancy Mace posted on Twitter.

"Today, my physician administered the Abbott Sars-Cov-2 RNA ID now nasal swab rapid test. "I tested positive for COVID-19 a few minutes later. "I was feeling a little fatigued with a body ache this weekend but that is kind of normal on the campaign trail."
