Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Amy Klobuchar said they’ll introduce a resolution requiring mandatory mask wearing in the Senate as well as a “robust testing regime” for everyone who works in the Capitol complex.

Schumer, of New York, and Klobuchar, of Minnesota, said their resolution would establish a testing and contact tracing system and a requirement that anyone exposed to someone with the coronavirus quarantine for 14 days. It would also mandate that lawmakers who contract COVID test negative before being allowed to vote on the Senate floor.
