It's the first known case of COVID-19 among congressional staff members
The U.S. Capitol Building Photo: Alex Edelman/Getty Images A senate aide for Washington Senator Maria Cantwell has tested positive for the coronavirus, Cantwell’s office announced on Wednesday night. It is the first known case of COVID-19 among congressional staff members. The staffer works in Cantwell’s Washington, D.C. office, but “had no known contact with the senator or other members of Congress”, according to the statement.
The aide has been isolated since their symptoms first appeared, but it’s not yet clear if other congressional staff members were exposed. The newly discovered COVID-19 case means that the coronavirus has officially landed on Capitol Hill. The only other known links to the virus became known earlier this week when several Republican members of Congress announced that they were voluntarily self-quarantining themselves after learning they were potentially exposed to the virus at CPAC.
