The New York senator will quarantine and work remotely this week, the spokesperson said.
"Anyone who knows Leader Schumer knows that even if he’s not physically in the Capitol, through virtual meetings and his trademark flip phone he will continue with his robust schedule and remain in near constant contact with his colleagues," Goodman emphasized.
The Congress recess ends on Monday and US lawmakers will return to work after the two-week Independence Day break.
