According to the Associated Press, when Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol, some House members of the building hid in a room. On January 10, a doctor at the Capitol said the room was used to isolate a person infected with COVID-19.
The doctor called on lawmakers to get tested for COVID-19 as soon as possible.
On the 6th local time, hundreds of Trump supporters broke through the roadblock and rushed into the Capitol, wandering in the halls and offices, destroying a large amount of furniture and documents.
At that time, dozens of parliamentarians in the building hid in a room, some of whom took short shelter and others crowded in it for hours.
On the 10th, Dr. Brian Moynihan, the attending doctor in the Capitol, sent a notice to all legislators, saying that a patient diagnosed with COVID-19 had been quarantined in the room, so the lawmakers hiding in the room were also at risk of contracting the virus.
He shouted Call on parliamentarians to go for virus testing. Dr. Moynihan did not disclose the patient’s name and details of the diagnosis.
