United States Congressman Tim Walberg (Republican, Michigan House of Representatives District 7) has tested positive for COVID-19. A statement released this morning at 10:32am reads as follows.

I received news yesterday that I tested positive for COVID-19. My symptoms are mild, and I remain in good spirits. It has been more than a week since I have attended a public event. In conjunction with health officials, my office and I are in the process of reaching out to individuals I had contact with before my self-isolation began.

Throughout this pandemic, the work of our health care professionals and frontline workers has been nothing short of heroic, and I continue to be grateful for their dedication. As we enter the winter months, I encourage everyone to remain vigilant and adhere to public health guidelines to combat this virus.

Finally, I will continue serving consituents of the 7th District and carrying out my responsibilities from home until I fully recover. I am appreciative of people’s prayers and well-wishes.
