Rep. Raul Ruiz (D-CA) has tested positive for COVID-19. Dr. Ruiz said he is experiencing only mild symptoms and will quarantine himself at home. Ruiz tweeted, “In preparation for attending the inauguration of President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris, I have taken multiple COVID-19 tests over the last 72 hours.
