Graham announced last week that he was self-quarantining after a recent visit to President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was present. Bolsonaro is currently being monitored for the disease after his spokesman tested positive.

The South Carolina senator said he had "no recollection" of interacting with the Brazilian president during his trip to Florida. He was the third senator to announce plans to self-quarantine after possible exposure to the disease, and several House lawmakers have done the same in recent days.
