According to a tweet from Peters, he took part in a meeting with Chairman Johnson on Wednesday. The senator also reported he feels fine and has not experienced any symptoms related to the virus.

My test was negative. I don't have symptoms and am feeling great. Out of an abundance of caution, I'll self-quarantine until October 14th. In the meantime, I'll keep doing my job, fighting for Michiganders, by working virtually from home. https://t.co/Ja1Vnwxfhj
