Democrat Raul Grijalva speaks during a House Natural Resources Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, on June 29, 2020.
(CNN)Arizona Democrat Rep. Raúl Grijalva has tested positive for coronavirus, his office confirmed Saturday.
Grijalva “was notified by the (Capitol) attending physician yesterday evening that he has tested positive for Covid-19,” his communications director, Geoff Nolan, told CNN on Saturday.
Because he had been at a hearing on Tuesday with Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert, who tested positive for coronavirus on Wednesday, “out of precaution, Grijalva went into self-isolation on Wednesday until he got a test,” Nolan said.
In a statement Saturday, Grijalva slammed Republicans who don’t wear masks in the building, citing the events of the week.
