Tom Rice represents South Carolina.
Washington:
Republican representative Tom Rice, a Republican member of the US House of Representatives, said on Monday that his wife and son had all contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus.
In a Facebook post, Rice said all three had symptoms but were recovering. “We are nearing quarantine and we look forward to seeing you again,” the post said.
Rice represents South Carolina, which has experienced a marked increase in cases since it became one of the first states to reopen. South Carolina was also one of the last states to order a foreclosure.
When the state home care order expired over a month ago, about 160 new cases were diagnosed each day. On Sunday, he reported nearly 800 new cases, a record on a single day.
