The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a post Monday that people with coronavirus "have the right to vote, regardless of whether they are sick or in quarantine."
The state of play: Voters who are sick should "take steps to protect poll workers and other voters," like washing their hands before and after voting, wearing a mask, and keeping at a distance from others, the CDC wrote.
- "You should also let poll workers know that you are sick or in quarantine when you arrive at the polling location," the post states.
Worth noting: More than 97 million Americans have already voted, according to data compiled by the U.S. Elections Project, as the coronavirus has spurred a massive uptick in mail-in ballots and early voting.
