Minnesota Attorney General Tests Positive for COVID Before Boarding Flight Back to U.S.

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who was outside the country, tested positive for COVID-19 before boarding a plane back to the U.S. In a statement Wednesday night, Ellison said that he is currently quarantining in place and will eventually return to the U.S.

"I'm working remotely as normal while isolating in place and will travel home when it's safe to do so," he wrote in the statement.

Eliison said that he was visiting family outside the U.S. but did not specify exactly where. He wrote that he "had no reason to believe I was positive until I took a mandatory COVID test that was required for me to board the plane home."

"I was surprised to find that it was positive, because up to that point, I had experienced no symptoms," Ellison said, adding that he has since developed virus symptoms.
