WASHINGTON (Gray DC) Newly elected and reelected representatives and senators are being sworn in to the 117th Congress Sunday.
The swearing-in ceremony happens on Jan. 3 every other year, and it is usually full of pomp and circumstance. It’s a day where lawmakers typically bring their families and take ceremonial pictures with the House speaker and vice president, who is the president of the Senate.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, the Office of the Attending Physician has implemented new procedures this year for the health and safety of those attending. Only first-term members-elect are allowed to bring a guest, and the guests must obtain a negative COVID test before traveling.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Monday alerted patients and health care providers that a COVID-19 test manufactured by the company Curative may produce false-negative results, which can lead to “unintended adverse events,” including increased risk of the spread of COVID-19.
On Monday, Brian Monahan, the Capitol physician, commented on the FDA’s warning in a memo obtained by Politico.
“We expect to have additional information in the coming days from the FDA and our expert consultants with regard to any concerns about the ongoing use of this test for the Capitol community,” Monahan wrote.
