Hospitalized with COVID-19, Sen. Andre Jacque is breathing with a ventilator

MADISON - A Wisconsin lawmaker who has been hospitalized with COVID-19 for at least a week is now breathing through a ventilator.

Republican Sen. Andre Jacque of De Pere was intubated Monday, according to two people with knowledge of his condition.

The treatment typically requires patients to be sedated to allow them to breathe using a ventilator. It is typically considered a last-resort treatment but many patients recover, including a 73-year-old high-ranking Roman Catholic cardinal last week.

Jacque, 40, has been hospitalized with COVID-19-induced pneumonia for at least a week after contracting COVID-19 earlier this month. Since then, two of his colleagues have asked the public for prayers.
