Former presidential candidate Herman Cain announced on Thursday that he has been hospitalized with Covid-19, almost two weeks after attending President Donald Trump's rally in Tulsa, Okla.

Cain was diagnosed with coronavirus on June 29, nine days after the president's rally, and his symptoms worsened and required hospitalization on July 1, according to a statement from his Twitter account.

"He spent the past night in a hospital and as of today, Thursday July 2, he is resting comfortably in an Atlanta-area hospital," the statement read, adding that Cain did not need a respirator. "There is no way of knowing for sure how or where Mr. Cain contracted the coronavirus."
