Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-Calif.) announced Tuesday that he has tested positive for the coronavirus. He is the seventh member of Congress to test positive since the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, when lawmakers spent hours together in confined locations where some GOP members refused to wear masks.
A total of 62 members of Congress have been infected with COVID-19 since March, with a notable spike in cases since Thanksgiving.
Broken down, 10 senators and 52 House members have tested positive or been diagnosed with the virus. Eight of those 10 senators are Republicans; in the House, 33 are Republicans and 19 are Democrats.
