Rep. Stephen Lynch Tests Positive For COVID-19

BOSTON (CBS) - U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch announced Friday he has tested positive for COVID-19 after a staff member in his Boston office tested positive earlier this week.

A spokesperson for Lynch said he "remains asymptomatic and feels fine."

Lynch had received the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine and had a negative COVID-19 test prior to attending President Joe Biden's inauguration last week.

He will self-quarantine and vote by proxy in Congress.

On Thursday, U.S. Rep. Lori Trahan announced that she had tested positive for COVID-19.
