One of the founders of ReOpen Maryland, a movement that pressured that state's governor to end his stay-at-home order, says he has COVID-19.
"I told you guys I wasn't feeling really well. I crashed later in the day, I had to go to the emergency room. I thought I was actually having a stroke but it turns out I have COVID," he said."Here we are at the end of June and I get it. It really doesn't make sense.
Walters said his wife and son were being tested for the virus. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment."If you think you had it ... don't make that assumption to the point where you're being less prudent about how you're behaving," he said."The challenge with this, all the symptoms for everybody are completely different.". Walters helped organize rallies in the state demanding an end to the order.
"We are committed to peaceful, law-abiding advocacy for public health measures that respect Marylanders' civil rights, economic well-being and educational access," afor the group reads."We support immediate, responsible reopening of our state's business, educational and religious institutions." Hogan shared a news article on his Facebook page about Walter's COVID-19 diagnosis, writing that anyone participating in protests should"continue to take all precautions to reduce the risks of spreading the coronavirus."
"Our health experts are strongly encouraging anyone who attended a demonstration or mass gathering to immediately get tested for coronavirus, and they are also advised to avoid contact with vulnerable populations," the governor wrote.
