Alaska Rep. Don Young is the longest-serving current member of the US Congress.
Young has previously called the novel coronavirus COVID-19 the 'beer virus,' and said claims of its severity were exaggerated.
Now, Business Insider reports the 87-year-old has tested positive for COVID-19. On Thursday, he tweeted he was feeling 'strong' following his diagnosis.
Over the past week, approximately 5% of all COVID-19 tests administered in Alaska have come back positive.
There have so far been 22,405 confirmed cases of the disease in Alaska and just under 100 confirmed deaths.
