PITTSBURGH — Rep. Mike Kelly, a Republican who represents Pennsylvania’s 16th congressional district, has tested positive for the coronavirus.

“I started feeling like I was coming down with something a week ago. I reached out to my physician, who recommended the test for COVID-19,” he told me over the phone from his home in Butler County. “As soon as I began to feel under the weather, I hunkered down at home, still worked every day, and waited for the results. The test came back positive [Friday] afternoon.”
