In the first month of 2021, 15 members of Congress have tested positive for the coronavirus. Ten have announced they tested positive since the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, when lawmakers spent hours together in confined locations where some GOP members refused to wear masks.
All told, 65 members of Congress have been infected with COVID-19 since March last year, with a notable spike in cases since Thanksgiving.
Broken down, 10 senators and 55 House members have tested positive or been diagnosed with the virus. Eight of those 10 senators are Republicans; in the House, 34 are Republicans and 21 are Democrats.
