FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Benninghoff Diagnosed with Breakthrough Case of
COVID-19
HARRISBURG – Pennsylvania House
Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff (R-Centre/Mifflin) announced he has been
diagnosed with a breakthrough case of COVID-19, test
results confirmed Monday.
Benninghoff, who was fully vaccinated against
COVID-19 earlier this year, was tested for COVID-19 just prior to the
Thanksgiving holiday after developing mild symptoms. Benninghoff has not been
in the Capitol since Nov. 18 and, out of an abundance of caution, has been
quarantining since his test last week.
“I am thankful for the health care professionals
who have helped me, and many others, through this process,” Benninghoff said.
“I will continue to follow their advice and all
COVID-19 protocols of the House Republican Caucus before ending my quarantine.
My symptoms are mild, and I am working from home as my offices in Bellefonte,
Reedsville and Harrisburg continue to serve the people of the 171st
District and deliver on a productive agenda for the people of Pennsylvania.”
