Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is calling for a testing and contact tracing program for Senators and staff.
He said in a statement that the positive tests at the White House “demonstrates that the Senate needs a testing and contact tracing program for Senators, staff, and all who work in the Capitol complex. We simply cannot allow the administration’s cavalier attitude to adversely affect this branch of government.”
Schumer also said the administration needs to be transparent and follow the protocols that are in place.
“Though they have not done so in the past, the administration must now follow the science and all recommended health protocols in order to not put additional people at risk. And they must be completely transparent,” he said in the statement.
