Washington Sen. Maria Cantwell's office said Wednesday a D.C.-based staffer has tested positive for COVID-19. It's the first known case on Capitol Hill.

"The individual has been in isolation since starting to have symptoms," according to a release from the office. "On the advice of the Attending Physician, the senator has closed her Washington, D.C. office this week for deep cleaning and staff will be teleworking."...
 
[h=2]DC: 10 Cases Confirmed[/h]
Ten people have tested positive for the virus in D.C.

A rector in his 50s at Christ Church Georgetown was the first person to test positive. He had "no history of international travel and no close contacts with a confirmed case," Bowser said.

A 39-year-old organist at the same church, Christ Church Georgetown, later tested positive as well.

Anyone who attended the church on six dates in February and March was told to self-quarantine for 14 days because of possible exposure to the virus.

Another of the D.C. patients is a man from Nigeria. According to the mayor's office, the man, who is in his 50s, traveled to D.C. and then went to Maryland, where he went to a hospital with symptoms.

The other patients are a 77-year-old man who attended a conference held in Boston last month by the biotechnology company Biogen, a 59-year-old man with a history of travel to a Level 3 country, a 58-year-old woman who attended a conference in the District where other positive cases were identified, a 39-year-old man with a history of travel to a Level 3 country, a 24-year-old man with no known exposure, a 59-year-old woman who had contact with a previously identified case in the District, and a 69-year-old woman with no known exposure the mayor's office said.

Dozens of cases have been linked to the Biogen conference, NBC Boston reported.:tiphat:https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/...-cases-test-dc-maryland-virginia-dmv/2230095/
