BLOOMINGTON – A local lawmaker and some of his family have tested positive for COVID-19.
State Sen. Jason Barickman (R-Bloomington) says he and his wife, along with their daughter, tested positive for the virus last week.
Barickman told WJBC’s Scott Miller he’s on the mend, but he developed several symptoms throughout the week.
“Started with a soar throat, led to a cough that developed into a deep, rough cough. I had fever spikes throughout the day for several days and an achy body and headache,” said Barickman.”
Barickman says he and his wife are vaccinated but have not received the booster shot.
