US President Donald Trump said he is in favor of members of Congress having the ability to vote in legislation from their homes as three lawmakers have confirmed they tested positive for coronavirus.

Trump made his comments Sunday night after the third phase of a coronavirus stimulus package was unable to pass through the Senate Sunday as Democrats blocked the GOP measure meant to target economic fallout from the deadly outbreak. 

The infected lawmakers were Republican Senator Rand Paul, and Representatives Mario Diaz-Balart, a Republican from Florida, and Ben McAdams, a Democrat from Utah. Among those who came in contact with the three was Republican Senator Mitt Romney, who has gone into self-quarantine. 

Two House members also announced last week they contracted the virus. Several who came in contact with them, as well as Paul, have isolated themselves, including Republican Senator Mitt Romney.
