Ohio - Congressman Tim Ryan tested positive for Covid-19 today, September 19, after testing negative 3 times in the past 10 days. 

He is currently quarantining at his home in Howland, Ohio and is following all safety precautions recommended by his doctor. 

"Today, I tested positive for COVID-19. While I'm currently experiencing mild symptoms, I'm grateful to have the protection of a safe and effective vaccine — and I know without it, this illness could be much, much worse. What we have learned over the last year and a half is that we are in this together, and I urge all Ohioans to help us crush this pandemic by wearing a mask and getting vaccinated so that we can get back to normal," said Congressman Ryan.

"Finally, I'd like to extend my deepest thanks to Mercy Health who treated me and healthcare workers across Ohio who are fighting COVID-19 on the frontlines every day. You are the true heroes of this pandemic," says the Congressman.
