Deputy Prime Minister and Nationals Leader Barnaby Joyce has tested positive for COVID-19 after arriving in the United States.

In a statement, Mr Joyce said he had been experiencing mild symptoms and chose to get tested.

"Remaining members of the delegation have tested negative," the statement reads.

"Mr Joyce will remain in isolation until further advice."

The Deputy Prime Minister was in Washington DC for work relating to the government's plan for new social media regulations, and was previously in the United Kingdom before arriving in the US.

Acting Nationals leader David Littleproud said in a tweet that he had spoken to Mr Joyce this morning, and wished him well.

"He’s isolating in the US until it’s safe for him to come home and we wish him all the best for his recovery," Mr Littleproud said.

More to come.

His Xmas is ruined.
He should be OK -
I assume he's double vaxxed as he wouldn't have been able to travel without that.

Mr Joyce told ABC Radio New England he had been experiencing mild symptoms and chose to get tested.

"Look, obviously very frustrated I'm going to be locked up in a room by myself for 10 days, but that's part of the process," he said.

"It's probably developing, I'm probably very much in the early stages — but I'm more worried about being in a room by myself to be honest."

Mr Joyce is fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

He said he had felt tired and pain in his legs, but that the illness was so mild he was uncertain whether he was even sick.

"I don't feel that bad, that's the crazy thing," Mr Joyce told Sky.

"If I can just work out which channel has the cricket on it, I'll be so much better."

Mr Joyce said he was disappointed he would be unable to consult with his US counterparts on the matter.

"Part of your job is you have got to travel … I really wanted to follow up on some of this online stuff, try to get better online protection laws and see where the United States are," he said.

"But that's the way the cookie crumbles."
