Nebraska Congressional candidate and State Senator Kate Bolz has been exposed to COVID-19
In a Monday afternoon release, Bolz's campaign announced that her fiancee, Lancaster County Board Chair Sean Flowerday, tested positive for COVID-19. Bolz's campaign says the two are under quarantine and doing well.
“We are grateful to the public health officials, doctors, and nurses who have helped us. As we have done throughout the campaign, we will follow best practices to prevent the spread of the virus, and we continue our work serving you and Nebraska’s health care system,” said Bolz.
“I’m proud of the Lincoln/Lancaster County Public Health Department’s response to COVID-19 and to my specific case,” said Flowerday. “Please, for the health of your loved ones and our community, wear your mask, wash your hands, and practice social distancing.”
Flowerday was confirmed positive on Monday, Bolz is awaiting her test results. Bolz continues to campaign virtually while quarantining at home.
