'On Wednesday, January 6, many members of the House community were in protective isolation in a room located in a large committee hearing space... During this time, individuals may have been exposed to another occupant with coronavirus infection,' said Dr. Brian P. Monahan.

Monahan noted that members of Congress should take precautions in the coming weeks. The physician encouraged lawmakers to record their daily symptoms if they experience any, wear a face mask, social distance, and take a COVID-19 test.

including Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Michael Cloud of Texas, and Doug LaMalfa of California—were shown refusing blue surgical face masks offered by Representative Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware.

"By the end of passing them out, I only had one left in my hand offering them to everyone," Rochester added."I was disappointed in those who didn't accept the masks but was encouraged by those who did. At least we were a little bit safer."
