New Jersey’s former Republican Gov. Chris Christie checked into a hospital on the evening of Oct. 3 after testing positive for COVID-19.

“In consultation with my doctors, I checked myself into Morristown Medical Center this afternoon. While I am feeling good and only have mild symptoms, due to my history of asthma we decided this is an important precautionary measure,” Christie wrote on Twitter.
