A Democratic senator on Thursday blasted lawmakers who test positive for COVID-19 and show up to work at the Capitol without isolating for five days or wearing masks.
recommends people who test positive to wear masks around others for five days after isolation. Adams, who completed his isolation on Monday, has appeared in the Capitol building without a mask throughout the week.
Kitchen said he also heard that two House members tested positive for the virus on Wednesday morning and continued to conduct their work at the Capitol on the same day. A Utah House spokesperson declined to confirm whether any members have tested positive for the virus. “We do not track or disclose results of COVID-19 tests and will not at any time during the session,” said Alexa Roberts, a communications manager for the Utah House of Representatives.
State Rep. Suzanne Harrison, D-Sandy, who also works as a medical doctor, said there have been times when she’s felt more worried about contracting the virus at the Capitol than at the hospital treating COVID-19 patients. “We all need to be looking out for each other and being respectful of each other,” Harrison said. “Many of us have family members or loved ones that are immunocompromised and I just hope that we’ll look out for each other and follow the guidelines of medical experts when it comes to positive COVID tests, which are go home for five days and then wear masks consistently for five days following your positive test.
