Published October 2, 2020 4:01pm ET



Utah Sen. Mike Lee tested positive for COVID-19, he announced on Friday morning.

“Yesterday morning, I was experiencing symptoms consistent with longtime allergies,” the Republican said in a statement. “Out of an abundance of caution, I sought medical advice and was tested for COVID-19. Unlike the test I took just a few days ago while visiting the White House, yesterday’s test came back positive. On advice of the Senate attending physician, I will remain isolated for the next 10 days.”
