A second Mississippi representative has been admitted to the hospital after testing positive for COVID-19.
On Thursday, Rep. Tom Miles of District 75 went to Twitter to inform people that his fellow legislator, Rep. Earle S. Banks of District 67, was checked in due to complications from the coronavirus.
