Lt. Col. Allen West and his wife Angela have tested positive for COVID-19.

The Texas gubernatorial candidate says that he expects to be admitted to the hospital while he battles the virus. In a tweet, he said that there is concern about his oxygen saturation levels and that his chest x-rays have found COVID pneumonia.

West stated that both he and his wife had received the monoclonal antibody infusion therapy, which is used to treat those in the early stages of the infection. He also stated that he is taking Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin.

According to his Twitter account, West is not vaccinated, but his wife Angela did receive the vaccine. West has publicly stated he supports individual choice, and this is reflected in his own family.

Last July, West announced that he will challenge Republican Governor Greg Abbott who is seeking a third term.
