U.S. Rep. Ron Wright, R-Arlington, has tested positive for the coronavirus, he said in a statement Thursday afternoon.

Wright, 67, who was hospitalized in September due to complications from cancer treatment, said in a statement that he’s been in quarantine since Friday and “will continue to quarantine until my doctors and medical professionals give me the okay to return to work.”

Earlier this week, Wright announced that soon after returning to Texas following the House vote to impeach then-President Donald Trump, he learned that he and several members of his staff had come into contact with an individual who had the virus. Wright did not attend President Joe Biden’s inauguration and said in a statement at the time he was “watching from my home in Arlington.”

Wright, a former tax assessor-collector for Tarrant County who first took office in 2019, said he’s experiencing minor symptoms.
