Fletcher and Gonzalez, D-San Diego, used the announcement to emphasize government-issued calls for public diligence in following measures to avoid contracting the disease.
"As we see increases in positive cases, outbreaks and hospitalizations due to COVID-19, we all face higher potential for exposure & continue to encourage everyone to take seriously the risks associated with COVID and (the) need for us all to follow public health guidance," they said.
