CAPITOL OUTBREAK: Three Dems in Congress Test Positive for COVID-19

A pair of U.S. senators and one House member announced Sunday they tested positive for COVID-19.

Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker, both Democrats, announced their diagnoses on Twitter, followed by Rep. Jason Crow, a Democrat from Colorado. All three said they are fully vaccinated and boosted and have mild cases.

The positive tests come as the omicron variant of COVID-19 quickly spreads across the United States and the rest of the world, feeding a winter surge in cases and accompanying wave of new restrictions meant to stop the spread.

I regularly test for COVID & while I tested negative earlier this week, today I tested positive with a breakthrough case. Thankfully, I am only experiencing mild symptoms & am grateful for the protection provided against serious illness that comes from being vaccinated & boosted.

I learned today that I tested positive for COVID-19 after first feeling symptoms on Saturday. My symptoms are relatively mild. I’m beyond grateful to have received two doses of vaccine and, more recently, a booster – I’m certain that without them I would be doing much worse.

I just returned from an official congressional delegation visit to Ukraine and tested positive for a breakthrough COVID infection.

I’m thankful to be fully vaccinated and boosted and experiencing only mild symptoms (the vaccine is safe and effective).
