Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey have tested positive for COVID-19.
Warren made the announcement Sunday on Twitter, saying she only has mild symptoms thanks to the vaccine and booster shot.
"As cases increase across the country, I urge everyone who has not already done so to get the vaccine and the booster as soon as possible - together, we can save lives," she tweeted.
I regularly test for COVID & while I tested negative earlier this week, today I tested positive with a breakthrough case. Thankfully, I am only experiencing mild symptoms & am grateful for the protection provided against serious illness that comes from being vaccinated & boosted.

Booker made the same announcement just hours later on Twitter, saying his symptoms are "relatively mild."
I learned today that I tested positive for COVID-19 after first feeling symptoms on Saturday. My symptoms are relatively mild. I’m beyond grateful to have received two doses of vaccine and, more recently, a booster – I’m certain that without them I would be doing much worse.
