Rep. Tom Rice, a South Carolina Republican, announced on Monday that he, his wife, and his son had been infected with the coronavirus.
But just two weeks ago, Rice appeared on the House floor in Washington without a face covering.
The conservative congressman said he was able to maintain 6 feet of distance from everyone on Capitol Hill and didn't need to wear a mask.
Rice said he came down with relatively mild symptoms of the virus on June 7 and that his son suffered from "a high fever and really bad cough."
