The House will not come back to Washington next week, House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer told reporters Tuesday, reversing an announcement he made on a Democratic Caucus conference call the previous day.
The change of course comes as members expressed concern about returning to Washington while some areas in the region are developing into coronavirus hot spots. Hoyer said the decision to delay the return, which had been briefly scheduled for May 4, came after he talked with the Capitol physician, Brian Monahan, who said he recommended against taking the risk involved in members returning.
“The house doctor, when I talked to him yesterday, was concerned because the numbers in the District of Columbia are going up,” the Maryland Democrat said. “They’re not flat, and they’re not going down.”
Monahan spoke “forcefully about what he perceived to be the current situation in the Washington area,” Hoyer said.
After their discussion, Hoyer said he talked to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and they agreed they should listen Monahan’s advice because they have urged everyone throughout the pandemic to follow guidance from medical authorities.
