Rep.-elect Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) will be missing during the January 3 swearing-in of House members on Capitol Hill because she will be self-isolating after testing positive for the CCP virus.
The newly elected House member announced Thursday that she had joined the growing number of lawmakers who have contracted the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. The recently elected Florida Rep. said she was experiencing heart trouble and was admitted to hospital on Dec. 23 after which she was tested for the virus and received her positive diagnosis. She did not detail her symptoms but did say she is feeling better each day.
