Fleischmann tests positive for COVID-19

U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN-03) released the following statement after receiving a positive COVID-19 test:

“Today (Jan. 10), I learned that I have tested positive for COVID-19 after coming into contact with another infected member of Congress, with whom I share a residence in D.C. I have been in quarantine since Wednesday night, which is when I learned the individual had tested positive, and following CDC guidance. I will continue to work for my constituents while self-isolating. I currently feel okay and remain in contact with the attending physician.

“I again want to urge all Americans to continue to wear masks, practice proper hygiene, and follow CDC guidance as we work to combat COVID-19.”
