U.S. senator Roger Wicker during a visit with those attending the inaugural meeting of the Oxford Pachyderm Club, at the Country Club of Oxford, in Oxford, Miss. on Tuesday, April 18, 2017. The Oxford Pachyderm Club is the first chapter of the National Federation of Pachyderm Clubs in Mississippi, joining 60 others clubs across the United States.

Republican U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi said Friday that he has tested positive for COVID-19. This the second time he has tested positive.

“I am fully vaccinated and in good health. I will work from home for the next few days. I look forward to being back in person soon,” Wicker said in a statement. The senator did not clarify whether he had taken a booster, antivirals or monoclonal antibody treatment in addition to being fully vaccinated.

Wicker, 70, was also diagnosed with COVID-19 in August. About two weeks after that diagnosis, he said he had received a clean bill of health and was ready to start traveling the state again.
