Hayes tests positive for COVID-19 [View all]
U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes, D-5th District, announced Sunday she has contracted COVID-19, one day after entering a 14-day quarantine necessitated by a staffer’s positive test.
Hayes, whose district covers a large area of northwestern Connecticut, is the first member of Connecticut’s delegation to test positive for COVID. Hayes said she had been working in close contact with a staffer who recently tested positive for the disease.

This morning I received a positive COVID-19 test result and will be quarantined for the 14 days.
