Tim Kaine tests positive for coronavirus antibodies

Sen. Tim Kaine announced Thursday that he and his wife have tested positive for coronavirus antibodies.

In a statement, the Virginia Democrat and former vice presidential hopeful explained that after testing positive for the flu, he continued to experience symptoms. In April, both Kaine, and his wife, Anne, were told they could have mild cases of coronavirus, but were not tested because of a shortage in testing. The symptoms went away in mid-April, he said.

“We each tested positive for coronavirus antibodies this month,” Kaine said. “There is still too much uncertainty over what protection antibodies may actually provide. So we will keep following CDC guidelines — hand-washing, mask wearing, social distancing. We encourage others to do so as well.”
