Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) announced that he and his wife, Liz, will be self-quarantining after both became ill with symptoms associated with the coronavirus.

But unlike some in the Senate who were tested even though they had no symptoms, Moulton said he was told by the House’s attending physicians that he does not qualify for testing because his symptoms are relatively minor.

“People with symptoms should be tested, and the fact that tests are not available for Liz and me and far too many other Americans, a month after I wrote to the Vice President demanding more widespread testing, is a major failure of the Administration that I will continue fighting to fix,” Moulton wrote in a statement in which he described having a low-grade fever, sore throat, chest tightness and fatigue.

Moulton said it is likely he will miss votes on the coronavirus relief package when it is taken up in the House.

But he said he “will make very clear my position on those votes ahead of time, and I’ll continue fighting for health care workers who need PPE [personal protective equipment], for the unemployed who still need to put food on the table, for the sick who need respirators and access to care, and for small businesses who are the lifeblood of our economy.”

Two other Democratic House members were able to get tested and are awaiting results.

Rep. Katie Porter (Calif.) revealed on Twitter in the afternoon that she had fallen ill and developed a fever, so she received the coronavirus test and would be self-quarantined until she got results.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (Mass.) missed a later press call with a liberal group regarding the relief package because she was waiting to take the test, her chief of staff told reporters.
