BOSTON (WHDH) - Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley said she has tested negative for coronavirus after experiencing flu-like symptoms several days ago.
Pressley is recovering from the flu and will continue to work remotely for the time being, she said in a statement Friday.
She said she is touched by the outpouring of support she’s received since she underwent testing.
“As an asthmatic and as someone who had been in contact with a colleague who tested positive for COVID-19, it was determined that I fell into a high risk category. I am relieved to report that I have tested negative for COVID-19,” her statement said.
Pressley also thanked staff at Massachusetts General Hospital for treating her and dozens more who also experienced coronavirus-like symptoms.
