DeLauro said she was looking forward to various events and celebrations, but now she is isolating at home.
“While I was looking forward to marching in the St. Patrick’s Day parade and had big plans to celebrate our community projects and all that we accomplished for working families in the federal spending package we passed this week, I will be isolating and working remotely from my home in New Haven," she said in part in a statement.
She said her office remains fully operational for Connecticut residents.
