House Democrat Sick After Being Near Pelosi
Rep. Nydia Velazquez said Monday she's been "diagnosed with presumed coronavirus infection," three days after she spoke on the House floor and stood near 80-year-old House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during the signing of the $2.2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill.
In a statement, the Democrat from New York said she first started feeling sick "in the wee hours of Sunday morning."
"I developed the abrupt onset of muscle aches, fevers, nasal congestion and stomach upset. I noticed that I could no longer smell my perfume or taste my food. After speaking with The Attending Physician by phone, I was diagnosed with presumed coronavirus infection," said Velazquez, 67.
"My symptoms are mild at the present time and I am taking Tylenol for fever, and isolating myself at my home. At the advice of The Attending Physician, neither COVID 19 laboratory testing nor a doctor's office visit was recommended. I am carefully monitoring my symptoms, working remotely and in constant contact with my staff."
Dozens of members of Congress had to rush back to Washington, D.C. on Friday to vote for the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package after Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said he planned to try to force a recorded vote on the legislation, which required a quorum of at least 216 members to be in attendance.
