MANCHESTER — Two more House members tested positive for COVID-19 and believe they were infected at sessions at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Manchester last week, bringing the known total to at least five.
Rep. Bill Marsh (D-Brookfield), a physician, said he knows of at least one other House member with COVID, and was told a state senator also became ill with COVID after the Senate session last week.
