Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., will be returning to the campaign trail after receiving a second negative coronavirus test, her campaign announced Monday.
"She continues to feel great, and has no symptoms. She looks forward to getting back out on the campaign trail," said Stephen Lawson, her communications director.
The Georgia Republican is facing a Jan. 5 runoff in the state's twin U.S. Senate races.
Loeffler took a rapid COVID-19 test Friday evening that came back positive, a day after she campaigned with Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. David Perdue, who also faces a Jan. 5 runoff.
A test Saturday came back inconclusive and Sunday's test came back negative, Loeffler’s campaign said.
Perdue said before Loeffler's negative test was announced Sunday that he would remain at home as he awaited Loeffler's results. Pence staffers have not indicated whether he has been tested for COVID-19 since campaigning with Loeffler or whether he plans to isolate.
Loeffler is facing Democrat Raphael Warnock in a Jan. 5 runoff election — one of two races that will determine which party has control of the Senate. The other race will feature Perdue and Democrat Jon Ossoff.
If the Republican wins either race, then the party will keep control of the U.S. Senate.
