BOSTON — Some rooms in the Massachusetts Statehouse will undergo an environmental cleaning after a person connected to the state Senate tested positive for COVID-19, according to an email sent to lawmakers and staff.
No information about the positive case was provided, but everyone who came into contact with the person on Wednesday was notified, according to the email from Senate President Karen Spilka’s office, Masslive.com reported on Thursday.
“We would like to remind everyone that all Senate employees should be working remotely and Senate members are strongly encouraged to participate in sessions remotely,” the email said.
Some lawmakers were in the building Tuesday to vote on the final version of a police reform bill. Legislators have also been in the building to discuss the state budget.
The building underwent environmental cleaning last month after two state representatives tested positive for COVID-19. They had been in the building the same week the House and Senate were debating the budget.
