At least nine House Democrats, including Joe Neguse of Colorado, have announced in the past five days that they tested positive for the coronavirus, with more than half of those cases emerging after lawmakers attended a party retreat in Philadelphia.
At least nine House Democrats have announced in the past five days that they tested positive for the coronavirus, with more than half of those cases emerging after lawmakers attended a party retreat last week in Philadelphia.
The infections offered a jarring reminder that, even as top officials seek to pivot away from strict restrictions and encourage Americans to learn to live with the coronavirus, the pandemic rages on. The White House on Tuesday announced that public tours would resume in April, after being suspended at the start of the pandemic. On the other side of Pennsylvania Avenue, senior lawmakers and officials on Capitol Hill are discussing plans to reopen the building to tourists, according to aides briefed on the discussions, after House Democrats moved this month to lift a mask mandate in their chamber.
Reps. Jared Golden of Maine, Joe Neguse of Colorado and Andy Kim of New Jersey announced within an hour of one another Tuesday morning that they had tested positive for the coronavirus. Neguse attended the retreat along with four others who reported testing positive in recent days: Reps. Madeleine Dean of Pennsylvania, Zoe Lofgren of California, Kim Schrier of Washington and Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut.
