Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said Tuesday that he's now tested negative for the coronavirus, after contracting it in March, and that he is now volunteering his services at a hospital.

"I have started volunteering at a local hospital to assist those in my community who are in need of medical help, including coronavirus patients," the senator and ophthalmologist wrote in a tweet that included a picture of him wearing a white doctor's coat and sporting a three-day beard. 

Paul, a Republican, tested positive last month despite being asymptomatic. He is one of several members of Congress who have tested positive for the virus.
