Rep. Andrew Lewis, PA (Facebook)
According to a report in The Washington Post, Democratic leadership in Pennsylvania is accusing Republicans of deliberately hiding a GOP member’s positive COVID-19 test result for over a week.
Republican state Rep. Andrew Lewis released a statement on Wednesday revealing he received his positive test result on May 20.
In a statement, Democratic Leader Frank Dermody said he and other House members were shocked to learn that a colleague received a positive COVID diagnosis more than a week ago.

State Rep. Dan B. Frankel, minority chairman of the House Health Committee, said in a statement that he was “horrified to learn that members of the General Assembly failed to do the right thing.”
Some Pennsylvania House Democrats are calling for their colleagues to resign, while others are asking the state’s attorney general to investigate.
