Today, Congressman Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), the U.S. House Assistant Speaker, announced plans to self-quarantine after a brief interaction with an individual who was at the time asymptomatic but later tested positive for COVID-19.

Congressman Luján is exhibiting no symptoms, and health professionals have advised that the congressman is at a low probability for infection. He first learned of the individual's diagnosis Sunday afternoon. Still, out of an abundance of caution for the health and safety of the public, the congressman has chosen to self-quarantine.

Staff in the New Mexico and Washington, D.C. offices will begin previously-scheduled telework on Monday.

Congressman Luján and his team will continue to serve constituents of New Mexico's Third Congressional District who need assistance with federal agencies or in response to the coronavirus, and New Mexicans can reach staff members by calling the office numbers listed below:
