CHICAGO (CBS) -- U.S. Congressman Bobby Rush reveals he's tested positive for COVID.

The Illinois Representative said he is fully-vaccinated and boosted, but still contracted a breakthrough case. Rush said he's symptom-free and feeling fine while quarantining.

I will be quarantining and following the latest guidance from the @CDCgov and @ChiPublicHealth. As cases rise and the Omicron variant spreads throughout the nation, I encourage everyone who has not yet done so to get vaccinated and get boosted as soon as possible.
