As the Delta variant emerges as the dominant strain of Covid across the country, the Capitol attending physician is warning Congress about the variant's presence on Capitol Hill.
"The Delta variant virus has been detected in Washington, DC and in the Capitol buildings," Capitol Attending Physician Brian Monahan said in a letter obtained by CNN to House members and staff. Monahan wrote the Delta variant virus "represents a dire health risk to unvaccinated individuals" and reminded members and staff that vaccinations remain available through the Office of the Attending Physician.More Related News
