After President Donald Trump’s testing positive for the CCP virus, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said it is imperative that a program for testing and contact tracing be implemented in the Senate.

“This episode demonstrates that the Senate needs a testing and contact tracing program for Senators, staff, and all who work in the Capitol complex. We simply cannot allow the administration’s cavalier attitude to adversely affect this branch of government,” Schumer said in a written statement.
