U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., announced Monday night that she has tested positive for COVID-19.

Jayapal was inside the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., when a mob of President Donald Trump's supporters stormed the building last week.

"I just received a positive COVID-19 test result after being locked down in a secured room at the Capitol where several Republicans not only cruelly refused to wear a mask but recklessly mocked colleagues and staff who offered them one," Jayapal wrote on Twitter.

Jayapal and her colleagues in the House of Representatives were in the middle of certifying Electoral College votes when pro-Trump protesters who had been demonstrating outside broke into the Capitol building on Jan. 6. Some members of Congress were forced to evacuate while others had to shelter in place as authorities worked to secure the building.

"Only hours after Trump incited a deadly assault on our Capitol, many Republicans still refused to take the bare minimum COVID-19 precaution and simply wear a damn mask in a crowded room during a pandemic—creating a superspreader event ON TOP of a domestic terrorist attack," Jayapal tweeted.

The congresswoman also called for members of Congress to be fined for not wearing face masks on Capitol grounds.

"Any Member who refuses to wear a mask should be fully held accountable for endangering our lives because of their selfish idiocy," she added. "I'm calling for every single Member who refuses to wear a mask in the Capitol to be fined and removed from the floor by the Sergeant at Arms."

Dr. Brian Monahan, the attending physician of Congress, advised representatives and congressional staff on Sunday that those in the secured room could have, “been exposed to another occupant with coronavirus infection," according to a statement from Jayapal's office.

Jayapal said she has been quarantining since last Thursday -- prior to her positive COVID-19 test -- amid fears she was exposed during the potential "superspreader event."

In the United States, 80,990,232 people live in a county where the average intensive care unit (ICU) capacity exceeds 90%, according to new data compiled by the COVID-19 Hospitalization Tracking Project at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management.

ICU capacity was most strained in the Southwest, West and Southeast, the report found, with all three regions at 80% ICU capacity or higher.

Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, chief scientist at the World Health Organization, urged people to keep practicing public health measures like mask wearing and social distancing while COVID-19 vaccine production scales up enough to reach billions of people worldwide.

"So, we have to be here a little bit patient, the vaccines are going to come, they're going to go to all countries but meanwhile we mustn't forget there are measures that work," Swaminathan said.

People around the world will need to keep practicing fundamental public health measures at least "for the rest of this year at least," according to Swaminathan.

"Even as vaccines start protecting the most vulnerable, we're not going to achieve any levels of population immunity, or herd immunity in 2021," she added.

President-elect Joe Biden got his second dose of the two-dose Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine on Monday in Newark, Delaware.

After two doses, the Pfizer vaccine is 95% effective.

Mississippi has allotted its entire supply of COVID-19 vaccines and doesn't expect more doses until mid-February, the state health department announced Wednesday.

"Neither the county health department drive-through sites, nor the [University of Mississippi Medical Center] vaccine scheduling website was designed to accommodate the monumental surge we are currently experiencing," the Mississippi State Department of Health said in a statement. "At this time, we have no additional vaccine, and every appointment is tied to an actual vaccination."

New appointments are expected to resume after an anticipated vaccine resupply in mid-February, the department said.

On Tuesday, the state opened vaccine eligibility to people ages 65 and older and those with certain chronic health conditions, which led to an influx of calls to the state's COVID-19 hotline, officials said. Previously, vaccinations were prioritized for health care workers, long-term care residents and those over the age of 75.

"We decided to open vaccines to many more people. We knew it would cause a rush, but believe it is more fair than having government arbitrarily limit access," Gov. Tate Reeves said on Twitter Wednesday evening.

As of Tuesday, the state had administered 62,744 vaccinations over the last four weeks, Reeves said during a press briefing.
