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.
