Former Orange County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Michelle Steel — who retired from the position Sunday after being sworn into office in the U.S. House of Representatives representing the 38th District — announced she has tested positive for the coronavirus.
The news came Wednesday afternoon, the same time as reports broke that an angry mob had stormed the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C., where Steel would have been working.
Instead, the Seal Beach resident said she was self-quarantining but did not disclose her location.
