U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk announced that he tested positive for COVID-19 in a statement Tuesday, becoming the fourth Republican representative from Georgia to contract the virus.

The statement said that Loudermilk was tested last week after coming in contact with someone who tested positive.

“I’m quarantining at home in Georgia, with mild symptoms, but I look forward to getting back to my full legislative duties as soon as possible,” Loudermilk said.
