National Guard have tested positive for COVID-19 in the wake of the massive protests across the nations capital last week, according to Lt. Col. Brooke Davis, Guard spokeswoman. While some Guard troops responding to the protests wore protective equipment, most were not wearing masks and it was largely impossible to maintain any social distancing. In a statement, Davis said unit commanders were responsible for ensuring their troops adhered to guidelines calling for Guard members to wear protective equipment and maintain social distancing where practical. According to officials, about 5,000 total Guard members were in D.C. for the civil unrest, including as many as 1,200 from the D.C. Guard. According to officials, Guard members returning to other states may remain on duty status and continue to be paid for two additional weeks so that they can be in quarantine if they were at risk for coronavirus infections.
