Masks will once again be universally required on the House side of the Capitol amid the spread of the highly contagious COVID-19 delta variant, the Capitol physician announced late Tuesday night.
The resumption of the House mask mandate just over a month after it was lifted comes after new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) earlier Tuesday recommending that vaccinated people should wear masks in high-risk areas. To be clear, for meetings in an enclosed US House of Representatives controlled space, masks are REQUIRED, a memo from the Capitol physician, Brian Monahan, states.
