FRANKFORT — Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul says he has recovered from the coronavirus. The Republican lawmaker said Tuesday he is volunteering at a hospital in his hometown of Bowling Green.

Paul said Tuesday he appreciates all the good wishes he received. He says he was retested and the results came back negative.

Paul is an eye surgeon. He says he has started volunteering to assist those in his community in need of medical help, including coronavirus patients.
