Two more Texas Democrats have been diagnosed with COVID-19, bringing the total number of afflicted members to five, according to a new report.
Following reports of the first three cases on Saturday, precautionary testing revealed two additional members, both of whom were fully vaccinated, had contracted the disease, according to a press release by the Texas House Democratic Caucus. The members are feeling good, with no symptoms or only mild symptoms, the THDC added. This morning, I received a positive COVID-19 rapid antigen result, state Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, who identified himself as one of the two members who were diagnosed Sunday, tweeted. I am fully vaccinated, and had tested negative on Friday and Saturday. I am quarantining until I test negative, and I am grateful to be only experiencing extremely mild symptoms.

Texas Democrats aren t planning to return home to Austin just yet.
In fact, they intend to this week step up their protests against voting restrictions being considered by the Republican legislature in their home state. After fleeing Austin for Washington and denying quorum to their GOP colleagues, the Texas Democrats plan to hold a week-long virtual conference - based here in Washington - featuring influential civil rights activists and lawmakers.

A number of Democrats from the Texas state legislature fled to Washington in a bid to prevent a Republican-led bill that involves a number of additional voting requirements from passing. The Dems spoiled the needed two-thirds quorum for the House of Representatives to vote on the legislation.
A group of Texas Democratic lawmakers has no plans to return to their state in the near future and will instead hold an online conference to discuss their fight against the Republican voting draft law, considered by some to be voting obstruction that targets certain social groups, the Washington Post reported on Sunday.
