Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has tested positive for COVID-19 after attending President Donald Trump’s recent Tulsa rally.
In a statement on Thursday, a spokesperson for Cain said that he had been admitted to an Atlanta-area hospital.
“By Wednesday, July 1, Mr. Cain had developed symptoms serious enough that he required hospitalization,” the statement explained.
Cain was said to not be in need of a ventilator at this time.
Less than two weeks earlier, Cain was seen attending Trump’s Tulsa rally without wearing a mask.
It was not immediately clear if others had been told to self-quarantine due to contact with Cain.
