38 Capitol police officers and 150 members of the National Guard have tested positive for COVID-19 since the Capitol attack

Thirty-eight members of the United States Capitol Police and approximately 150 members of the National Guard have tested positive for COVID-19 since their response to the deadly attack on the Capitol earlier this month, officials told CBS News.

Gus Papathanasiou, the president of the union that represents the Capitol Police, told CBS News that cases had “increased” since the Jan.6 attack on the U.S. Capitol that brought police closer to rioters.

More than 25,000 National Guard troops have been deployed to Washington, DC, in the aftermath of the attack, and photos have shown the guards resting near the Capitol building. More than half of the guards will return home in the coming days.

Two women in Congress – Representatives Pramila Jayapal and Bonnie Watson Coleman – tested positive after the attack. Lawmakers were forced to take shelter together in a safe place as rioters descended on the Capitol building, and this proximity raised concern of a super-spread event. Some Democrats have accused fellow Republicans of refusing to wear masks while the group took shelter together.

So far, more than 120 suspects have been charged by the federal government following the January 6 riot that left five people dead. The FBI continues to search social media, tips and personal videos to find more suspects.
