Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) announced on Sunday that a former staffer has contracted the new coronavirus.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have received notice that a former staff member has tested positive for COVID-19,\u201d the disease caused by the Wuhan coronavirus, said Schiff in a statement<\/a>. He did not identify the person in question.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough doctors believe the staffer contracted the virus after leaving my office, Im taking additional distancing precautions, including postponing meetings and teleworking,\u201d he wrote in a Twitter statement.<\/p>\n

Schiff said that the former staffer is feeling better, adding that none of his staff have reported any flu-like symptoms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout this health crisis, I feel that the job of elected officials is to push out the best information possible, listen to the advice of public health professionals, and scientists, and be cautious,\u201d the California Democrat wrote.<\/p>\n

\nI was informed that a former staffer who left our office 10 days ago has tested positive for COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Other congressional staffers have tested positive for the coronavirus in recent days, including a staff member of Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash), who is now in isolation, according to a statement last week. Her office was cleaned and disinfected, and employees are working remotely.<\/p>\n

Several other members of Congress have said they would self-quarantine after interacting with individuals who tested positive for the new virus, which emerged late last year in Wuhan, China. They include Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Rep. Don Breyer (D-Va.), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), and several others.<\/p>\n

President Donald Trump last weekend also came into contact with a Brazilian official who was later found to have tested positive for COVID-19. The president was tested for the virus before the White House physician confirmed that Trumps COVID-19 result was negative on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast night after an in-depth discussion with the President regarding COVID-19 testing, he elected to proceed,\u201d Dr. Sean Conley wrote in a memo to news outlets.<\/p>\n

It came after Trump was photographed<\/a> with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaros communications secretary, Fabio Wajngarten, who tested positive. He met with Trump and Vice President Mike Pence last week in Mar-a-Lago.<\/p>\n
