The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued updated guidance Monday saying that voters infected with the CCP virus can still safely cast their ballots in person, given they adhere to the health agency’s recommendations.

“Voters have the right to vote, regardless of whether they are sick or in quarantine,” the CDC said, noting that those who have tested positive, or are undergoing quarantine after possible exposure to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, should follow guidance to ensure they don’t infect poll workers and other voters.
