Sen. Lamar Alexander will self-quarantine at his home in Tennessee for 14 days after a staff member tested positive for COVID-19. He’s the latest lawmaker impacted as coronavirus reaches into the strongholds of power throughout Washington D.C.
Alexander was in the Capitol last week and attended a GOP meeting, although he regularly wore a mask in line with health guidelines. He will still chair a Senate health committee hearing with several members of the Trump administration and White House coronavirus task force this week via videoconference.
“The president’s physician and White House operations continue to work closely to ensure every precaution is taken to keep the president, first family and the entire White House complex safe and healthy at all times,” White House spokesman Judd Deere told USA Today.
