The U.S. Capitol's attending physician warned lawmakers on Sunday that they may have been exposed to someone with a coronavirus infection as they hid from a pro-Donald Trump riot breaching the building last Wednesday, according to reports. 

"Many members of the House community" may have been exposed while "in protective isolation in [a] room located in a large committee hearing space. The time in this room was several hours for some and briefer for others," Brian Monahan, the attending physician of Congress, wrote in an email to all members of Congress and staff.
