KS Congressman LaTurner tests positive for COVID-19

(KNZA)--Newly-elected Kansas 2nd District Congressman Jake LaTurner has tested positive for COVID-19.

LaTurner’s office made the announcement on Twitter early Thursday morning and said he wasn’t experiencing any symptoms.

The tweet said LaTurner took the test because of Washington D.C.’s guidelines that calls for visitors to be checked.

The results came just hours after he voted Wednesday evening to object to the counting of Arizona's Electoral College votes for Biden.  He did not vote on a similar challenge to Pennsylvania's vote totals after being informed of the positive test.

His offfice said he’s following guidelines from the CDC and won’t come back to the House floor until he’s given the all-clear.

LaTurner took office Sunday.
