More than a dozen U.S. Capitol Police officers have tested positive for coronavirus since late March, with at least two contracting COVID-19 just this week, Fox News has learned.
The two USCP officers who tested positive this week sent “about a dozen” into isolation due to potential contact issues. Fox News has learned that “nine of them have fully recovered” or been cleared to return to work. Since March, 14 USCP officers tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
Sources told Fox News on Wednesday that the USCP had to clean a locker room in the Capitol after officers contracted coronavirus, and reviewed an issue with an outdoor police security kiosk on the House side of the Capitol grounds.
In a statement, the USCP said it “is working closely with the Office of Attending Physician and the Architect of the Capitol.”
