Pressley's office said new buttons have been installed since the Capitol riot, but that the originals' disappearance is under investigation. Groh told the Globe she was “deeply concerned' about the panic buttons' apparent disappearance because she felt 'the heat was being turned up in terms of the rhetoric and Trump’s aims to incite violence.” 'Barricaded in my office, sitting or lying on the floor, in the dark, with a gas mask in my hand, alongside my chief of staff, my husband, another member and their aide,' Pressley recalled. In an interview with NBC10 Boston Monday, Pressley described the experience she and her husband had during the attack on the Capitol. Pressley confirmed that she, Harris - who has mild symptoms of the virus - and close staff will stay in isolation, but that she will continue to perform her congressional duties during the impeachment. The Republicans' 'arrogant disregard for the lives of others is infuriating, but not surprising, and we are seeing the consequences of it daily, as several of my colleagues-and now my husband-test positive for COVID-19,' she said. The space was crowded, she said, and the congressional physician has told representatives that they may have been exposed to the virus there. Pressley noted in a statement that some of her Republican colleagues refused to wear a mask in a secure room where many of them were taken during storming of the Capitol. Other members of Congress have tested positive for coronavirus in the wake of the lockdowns as well. He was in lockdown with Pressley and Groh.

Later Wednesday, Pressley announced that her husband, Conan Harris, tested positive for the coronavirus. Click here to sign up for our weekly coronavirus newsletter. Get the latest news on COVID-19 delivered to you.
