As far as I know the only mass Covid infection (in DC) happened when Chump had that outdoor reception to introduce Amy Coney Barrett as the new Scotus justice nominee to replace Ruth Bader Ginsberg. It was all Repukes at the reception and most were without masks. At least 7 or 8 got Covid that day, and it happened before the vaccinations were ready to be distributed.

After that event, everyone was in favor of Zoom meetings and emailed or phone-in votes.
