At least 30 Mississippi lawmakers and 11 workers at the state capitol have tested positive for the coronavirus as of Tuesday, according to the state’s health officer.
The number is an increase from the 26 lawmakers and 10 others originally reported to have contracted the virus, state health officer Thomas Dobbs said, attributing the increase to more people receiving test results.
Two people from the Mississippi Capitol are hospitalized, according to the Jackson CLarion-Ledger.
The number gives the state the largest coronavirus outbreak in any state legislature thus far, according to an Associated Press analysis.
