“Sy. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) is self-quarantining after she had mixed coronavirus test results following campaign events with Vice President Mike Pence and fellow GOP Sen. David Perdue ahead of Georgia’s two highly contested senate races. Loeffler attended in-person events with both men Friday after undergoing two tests for the virus. A rapid test immediately came back negative for the virus; a second PCR test, which requires lab analysis, came back positive later that evening, her campaign said in a statement Saturday. Loeffler was retested again Saturday morning, but those results came back inconclusive later in the evening, the senator’s communications director, Stephen Lawson, said. “Sen. Loeffler followed CDC guidelines by notifying those with whom she had sustained direct contact while she awaits further test results,” Lawson said. “She has no symptoms, and she will continue to follow CDC guidelines by quarantining until retesting is conclusive, and an update will be provided at that time.” Jason Armond via Getty Images Vice President Mike Pence (from left) and Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue wave to supporters at a Defend the Majority Rally in Canton, Georgië, Vrydag. PCR tests — for polymerase chain reaction tests — are more accurate than rapid tests but are still estimated to produce false negatives anywhere from 2% aan 37% of the time. Loeffler attended an outdoor rally Friday with Pence and Perdue in Georgia. All three were seen together not wearing masks. The gathering came as Loeffler competes against Democrat Raphael Warnock to keep her seat ahead of the state’s Jan. 5 runoff elections. Perdue is also fighting to keep his seat against Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff. Both elections are highly contested as they will determine whether Republicans or Democrats take control of the U.S. Senaat. Republicans won 50 Senate seats in the Nov. 3 verkiesing. They need just one more to retain control of the chamber. If Democrats win both Georgia seats, the Senate will be balanced 50-50. Vice President Kamala Harris, acting as president of the Senate, could cast any tie-breaking vote in the Democrats’ favor.
