- A Pennsylvania state lawmaker tested positive for coronavirus but kept it a secret from some colleagues.
- Representative Andrew Lewis also allegedly told his GOP colleagues about the diagnosis but Republicans chose not to relay that information to the Democrats they work closely with.
- At least four other state lawmakers have self-quarantined due to their exposure to Lewis.
If we’re going to have any hope of fighting off the coronavirus pandemic as we wait for a vaccine to be developed, we need to know who has it and who doesn’t. You’d think that elected officials would be at the forefront of this movement, but if you were expecting Republican state lawmakers in Pennsylvania to come clean when they found out a colleague tested positive, you’re about to be sorely disappointed.
GOP state representative Andrew Lewis revealed that he tested positive for COVID-19, ironically receiving the results on the same day that the state held a “reopen rally.” Lewis allegedly informed his GOP colleagues of his diagnosis but continued to perform his duties in meetings and on the Pennsylvania house floor, potentially exposing many others to the virus.
