Pennsylvania congressman tests positive for Covid-19, won’t vote on USPS funding – CNN

"As your member of Congress, I wanted to inform you that, very unfortunately, I tested positive for COVID-19," Meuser said in a statement.

"Because of this, I will not be present or voting today on H.R. 8015. I will, however, submit for the record that I would have voted 'NAY,'" he said.

The House on Saturday evening is set to vote on a bill allocating $25 billion to the USPS and banning operational changes that have slowed mail service around the country.

Meuser said that he has been "following all CDC health and safety guidelines, and will be taking all necessary actions, including postponing upcoming public events and working from home in quarantine until I receive a negative test result."

CNN's Caroline Kelly, Chandelis Duster and Phil Mattingly contributed to this report.
