Illinois State Senator Dale Fowler (R-Harrisburg)

Fowler reports mild symptoms, says he'll isolate

Southern Illinois State Senator Dale Fowler has tested positive for COVID-19.

The Harrisburg Republican says he's fully vaccinated and boosted, and is experiencing mild symptoms, but maintains he'll isolate using CDC guidelines to protect others.

Fowler is just the latest in a string of lawmakers announcing COVID infections.

Governor JB Pritzker and President Joe Biden, along with U.S. Senator Dick Durbin, have also announced a positive test in recent weeks.

Jennifer Fuller joined Capitol News Illinois in July 2023 as the organization’s broadcast director. She will oversee the launch and operations of CNI’s new broadcast division.
