The Upper Peninsula Republican said Tuesday he was feeling better after experiencing symptoms over the weekend.
An Upper Peninsula Republican lawmaker tested positive Tuesday for COVID-19, becoming at least the fifth elected official in the state believed to have contracted the disease caused by the coronavirus. Rep. Beau LaFave, R-Iron Mountain, posted Tuesday afternoon on his Facebook page about the positive test result. „Thankfully, the worst of my symptoms came and went this weekend, and I’m feeling much better. I am following the doctor’s orders and working from home through at least the middle of next week,“ LaFave posted. It was not immediately clear when or where LaFave may have contracted the disease, information that can be difficult to determine. LaFave was at the statehouse last week, when lawmakers adopted the budget and passed other key pieces of legislation.
