Chairman Chris Turner (D-Grand Prairie) said the caucus is following all guidance and protocols from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "This is a sober reminder that COVID is still with us, and though vaccinations offer tremendous protection, we still must take necessary precautions," Turner said. "We are in touch with public health experts in Texas to provide additional guidance. Our caucus will follow all recommendations from public health experts as we continue our work." The caucus did not release any additional information about which members tested positive and asked that the privacy and personal health of the members be respected.
