\"\"BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR<\/a>) – Rep. Kelly Armstrong, R-ND,\u00a0announced on social media<\/a>\u00a0Sunday that he has tested positive for COVID-19.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Armstrong indicated he took a test after experiencing mild symptoms.<\/p>\n

In the post, Armstrong said he would not be traveling to Washington, D.C. this week, but would be casting votes by proxy.<\/p>\n

Here is Armstrong\u2019s full statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter experiencing mild symptoms I took a COVID test, and the result was positive. I have been fully vaccinated since January, and I am taking all precautions and recovering at home in North Dakota. I have been advised by my doctor to quarantine for ten days.<\/i><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I am not going to be able to be in D.C. next week. However, the votes we are taking are simply too important to miss, so I have reached out to friends in Congress and I will be casting my votes by proxy.<\/i><\/p>\n

Thank you to my family, staff, healthcare providers, and friends in Congress who are helping me during this time.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
