Several people have contracted COVID-19 in the wake of the Legislature s organizational session, including the North Dakota Senate s top budget writer.
Sen. Ray Holmberg, R-Grand Forks, confirmed his diagnosis to the Tribune on Thursday. Last week s organizational session was the only time I could have got it, he said. He was tested Monday after going to bed Friday night and sleeping through the weekend, and received his positive result on Tuesday.Â
Holmberg, 76, said he is feeling very tired but has no fever and is so far recovering at home. He planned to receive a plasma infusion Thursday afternoon as a treatment, one similar to the therapy President Donald Trump received in October.
