Reps. Thomas Massie and Raul Grijalva test positive for Covid-19 – CNN

Massie, who also said he is not vaccinated, is a fierce critic of White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci, and has been among the loudest voices in Congress against vaccine and mask mandates.

"I have tested positive for SARS-CoV2. (Home test, confirmed by lab PCR.) I had cold/allergy symptoms for 1 day, and seem to be over it," he tweeted.

"I will not be voting, meeting in person, or making public appearances until next week," he continued. "I am not vaccinated or boosted."

He also suggested his case is mild because he's been previously infected by Covid-19.

"I can't guarantee, but I suspect my symptoms have been very mild due to prior infection 2 years ago. Also, perhaps this was omicron?" he said on Twitter.

Massie also tweeted last week he and his staff would not order from restaurants following Washington, DC's newly implemented vaccine mandate at public establishments.

"On Wednesday, I tested positive for COVID-19. I am vaccinated, boosted, experiencing mild symptoms and remain in good spirits," the Arizona Democrat said in the statement. "My staff and I will follow Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance on testing and quarantine procedures including notifying those who may have been in close contact."
