U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton is self quarantining after experiencing symptoms of coronavirus, he announced on Wednesday.

“On Thursday, I began feeling unwell with a low grade fever and a concerning tightness in my chest, to a degree I’ve never felt before, that lasted several days,” the congressman from Salem said in a statement. “I have also had a sore throat, though no serious cough, along with body aches and unusual fatigue. My wife Liz has had similar symptoms.”

Moulton, a veteran, said he called the VA — his primary care provider — as well as the House of Representative’s attending physician. He also spoke with a friend who’s an ER doctor, who said he should get tested.

“But as the House doctor explained, I am ‘symptomatic,’ but because the symptoms are minor and a test would not change my treatment protocol, my wife and I don’t qualify for tests,” Moulton said. “As a result, and out of an abundance of caution, I will follow my doctors’ direction and continue to stay home and self-quarantine until I hit seven days after my symptoms started to improve and I do not have a fever for 72 hours.”

Their 18-month-old daughter Emmy does not have any symptoms, he said.

Moulton said he’s been “steadily improving and even went for a run yesterday, carefully keeping my distance from others, but I don’t want to risk the chance that I pass this, or whatever other respiratory illness I have if it is not the coronavirus, on to a colleague or fellow traveler.”
