CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A West Virginia lawmaker suffering from the coronavirus has been hospitalized.
Delegate T. Kevan Bartlett, a Kanawha County Republican and pastor at a Sissonville church, said in a Facebook post on Saturday that he was being treated at a hospital for symptoms of the virus, news outlets reported.
