Ellison is isolating and will travel back to Minnesota when it is safe to do so, according to a news release. He is conducting all business remotely.
Ellison learned he was positive after taking a mandatory test required to board a plane to go back to Minnesota, according to the release.
"I was surprised to find that it was positive, because up to that point, I had experienced no symptoms," he said. "Since then, I have developed mild symptoms but nothing worse than a mild cold."
Ellison advised Minnesotans to get a vaccine or a booster shot with coronavirus cases still prevalent.
"I'm very grateful to have been vaccinated and boosted," he said in the release. "The science is clear: Vaccines and booster shots make COVID symptoms mild and manageable for most of us if we do contract the virus. My case is more proof of that."
