"While I have had a confirmed case of bronchitis for much of March, my doctors have told me that it's likely I contracted COVID-19 in the last few days. I am staying quarantined at home, and my children and husband are self-isolating. We will all get through this together, and I look forward to seeing my friends, colleagues and constituents when I'm better and no longer at risk of spreading the virus to others," she said in a prepared statement.
