At least six legislators announced Tuesday that they had tested positive for the coronavirus ahead of the evening’s State of the Union address.
To attend Tuesday’s speech, guests — even those who are fully vaccinated — are required to produce a negative test.
Sen. Alex Padilla of California, Rep. Pete Aguilar of California, Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, Rep. Suzan DelBene of Washington, Rep. Ted Deutch of Florida and Rep. Dwight Evans of Pennsylvania — all Democrats — announced by statements or tweets on Tuesday that they had tested positive.
As I do regularly, I tested yesterday for COVID. Late last night, I received a positive test result with a breakthrough case. I’m asymptomatic and grateful to be fully vaccinated and boosted.
— Senator Alex Padilla (@SenAlexPadilla) March 1, 2022
Rep. Lauren Underwood, D-Ill., said on Friday that she had tested positive.
Typically, a State of the Union is attended by 1,500 people or more. Members of Congress and other political dignitaries bring guests and family members. But last year, only 200 people attended President Biden’s joint address to Congress in April, just as COVID-19 vaccines had started to become widely accessible to most American adults.
This year, all 535 members of Congress were invited to attend the speech, a decision made with the guidance of Brian P. Monahan, Congress’ attending physician. Many Republicans have decided to skip the event. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said he would not attend because he objected to the requirement that those present would need to take a coronavirus test.
Attendees will not be required to wear masks — a change to Monahan’s guidance made in the wake of falling COVID-19 levels in the D.C. area. The White House also recently changed its mask policy, allowing fully vaccinated staff members to go maskless.
