The group plans another round of tests Sunday morning and is deciding if it wants to proceed with in-person meetings.

The group’s members have held multiple meetings since flying to Washington on Monday, including with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Joe Manchin Mr. Schumer didn’t meet with any of the three state legislators who tested positive, the group said. Mr. Manchin also wasn’t in meetings with any of the three legislators, a spokeswoman said.
