Between 150 and 200 members of the National Guard who provided security for President Joe Biden's inauguration have tested positive for the coronavirus, a U.S. official said.
A total of 25,000 National Guard men and women were deployed to Washington in the aftermath of the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Hundreds of troops were forced out of the Capitol and into a nearby parking lot in close quarters the day after the inauguration.
