Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.) is among the busiest people in the nation’s capital, being both a member of the House of Representatives and a Senate candidate, but during a recent congressional hearing she thought she had found a way to be in two places simultaneously.

Those rules made it acceptable for a House member suffering from the virus or having been recently exposed to it from participating in hearings virtually.
