According to a press release from Johnson's office, he was exposed on Tuesday, Sept. 29, after returning to Washington, D.C. After learning about the exposure Johnson was given a coronavirus test Friday afternoon. The results came back positive early Saturday morning. 

"Senator Johnson feels healthy and is not experiencing symptoms. He will remain isolated until given the all-clear by his doctor," the statement said. "Most staff in the senator's Washington office have been working remotely. The office will go all-virtual for the immediate future."

Johnson was previously exposed to the Wuhan coronavirus last month. When the person tested positive on Sept. 14th, he quarantined for 14 days without symptoms. He was tested twice over that two-week period and both tests came back negative. He turned to Washington, D.C. on the 29th, at which point he was exposed and caught the virus.
