The Arizona House of Representatives has been shuttered for the week in the wake of Rudy Giuliani’s COVID-19 diagnosis.
Giuliani, serving as an attorney for the Trump campaign, was diagnosed with COVID-19 just after a public hearing at the House.
“Out of an abundance of caution for recent cases and concerns relating to COVID-19, the House building will be closed for one week, starting Monday, Dec. 7,” Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers said in a statement.
Bowers said remote work will continue.
“No one will have permission to work or meet in the building,” he said. “All members and staff should perform all work and schedule meetings remotely.”
Last week State Rep. Bret Roberts (R-Maricopa) suggested it is possible for the legislature to award the state’s electoral votes to Trump.
