Some of the senators expressed their anger at Paul for not being on self-quarantine earlier and potentially exposing senators to the corona virus. 

In his defense, he said, 

“For those who want to criticize me for lack of quarantine, realize that if the rules on testing had been followed to a tee, I would never have been tested and would still be walking around the halls of the Capitol.”
