State lawmaker says her family has contracted COVID-19

State Rep. Candice Pierucci said she and two others in her household are suffering from the coronavirus, with symptoms ranging from fever to cough.

“For lack of a better way to say this: This virus sucks,” the Republican lawmaker tweeted Tuesday. “Grateful though that the symptoms have been relatively mild all things considered.”

Pierucci wrote in a text message that she, her husband and 16-month-old son are all dealing with the illness and are recovering at their Riverton home. She wrote on Twitter that they are experiencing coughs, headaches, loss of taste, congestion, fever and chills.




“[W]e are fortunate to be able to work remotely, have access to great health care and are glad we were able to identify the exposure and quarantine quickly,” she wrote in the text message, adding that she is particularly grateful for the medical professionals who are caring for patients during the pandemic.
