The Washington Monument is closed this weekend after Interior Secretary David Bernhardt visited.

After Bernhardt tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, the Department of Interior had some employees enter quarantine as a precaution, triggering a staffing shortage and, ultimately, the closure of the monument.
