Bolden says she has COVID-19 after exposure in House

State Rep. Kyra Bolden (D-Southfield) has tested positive for COVID-19, the lawmaker shared in a tweet Tuesday evening.

Bolden says she got tested after receiving notification on Nov. 12 that she had been exposed to the virus while working with colleagues. She has been in quarantine since, only leaving the house to be tested.

Both Republican-led chambers have insisted that only lawmakers themselves should have the ability to decide whether or not to inform their colleagues and the public. This has led to widespread speculation that there are even more COVID-19 cases among state legislators that are going unreported.

“This virus is very real, and each of us must be responsible to do all that we can to ensure we are staying safe, and that means quarantining after exposure, and informing folks we may have come in contact with after receiving a positive test result,” Bolden said in her tweet thread.
