Gardner will self-quarantine in Washington and will continue to follow the advice of his physician, according to his spokesperson. His exposure to the virus highlights the vulnerability members of Congress in particular have. Sens. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) have all made the decision to self-isolate after also encountering individuals who tested positive for COVID-19.
So far, no members of Congress have tested positive. However, one staffer working for Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) and another working for Rep. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.) in their D.C. offices have been infected.
