He’s very sorry and asks that his family’s privacy be respected:

Will the other lady get tested, too?
I’m wishing @SenThomTillis a quick recovery following his positive COVID-19 test, and am thinking of him and his family.
Because I was with Senator Tillis recently on the debate stage, I will also get tested.
