Two North Carolina state representatives have tested positive for coronavirus, following a recent duck hunting trip with other state legislators. Both Reps.
Brian Turner and
Bill Rabon announced on Monday they had tested positive after experiencing cold-like symptoms.
The lawmakers took part in an annual duck hunting trip on Friday (January 15), and Rabon attended the one-day start to the General Assembly session last Wednesday. Since testing positive, they have been reaching out to anyone they have been in close contact with, which potentially includes several lawmakers who participated in the hunt. These are some fo the hardest phone calls I have ever had to make, Turner wrote in a Facebook post. No one wants to be responsible for exposing someone to a potentially deadly disease.
