Congress Urged To Work Remotely During Omicron Wave

Dr. Brian Monahan, the attending physician for Congress, recommends remote work for lawmakers and staff due to a surge in COVID-19 infections, with rates increasing from less than 1% to over 13%. The Omicron variant is prevalent among the cases. The Senate held a brief session on Monday but canceled an evening session due to a snowstorm. The House is set to return the following week.
