A GOP lawmaker potentially exposed to coronavirus has returned to work on Capitol Hill, choosing to disregard his colleagues’ lead and self-quarantine.

Upon his return, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) even went so far as to give tours of the Capitol to large crowds of tourists, including one group of hundreds of students visiting from his home state.

According to a CNN reporter, Gohmert told the tour groups that he would not be shaking any hands.

The congressman said in a statement Monday night that he and his staff would “just be careful to observe proper hygiene protocols” and otherwise would return to work.

Gohmert said that he was cleared by a CDC physician to return to work after they spoke by phone, though it is unclear if the Texas Republican had an in-person consultation with a doctor.

“No one is panicking and we are observing the recommended precautions,” his statement read.

Gohmert was among a group of Republicans who were advised over the weekend that he was possibly exposed to Covid-19 interacting with a Conservative Political Action Committee attendee who was diagnosed with the virus.

The man was diagnosed after taking part in the gathering.

Reps. Mark Meadows of North Carolina, Matt Gaetz of Florida, Paul Gosar of Arizona, Doug Collins of Georgia and Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas were all also notified of their exposure. All opted to self-quarantine as a precautionary measure.
