Washington Monument Closed After Visit by Official With COVID-19
The Washington Monument is closed this weekend after Interior Secretary David Bernhardt visited.
After Bernhardt tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, the Department of Interior had some employees enter quarantine as a precaution, triggering a staffing shortage and, ultimately, the closure of the monument.
“As we do in all circumstances when an employee attests to having COVID-19, we work with our public health officials to ensure all guidance from the CDC is followed, such as identifying close contacts and cleaning areas as appropriate,” Interior spokesman Nicholas Goodwin told news outlets in a statement.
