WASHINGTON, (Reuters) – U.S. Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas was admitted to the hospital last week for flu-like symptoms. A court spokesperson said Monday that Thomas does not have COVID-19.

On Sunday, the court informed Thomas that he had contracted an infection at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington. However, it did not give any details about the nature of the infection. The court stated that Thomas was receiving intravenous antibiotics.

Patricia McCabe, court spokesperson, stated that “His symptoms have abated, he’s resting comfortably and he expects be released from hospital in the next day or two.”

McCabe said Monday that Thomas didn’t have COVID-19.

Thomas was unable to join the court’s oral argument on Monday. However, he will be participating in the discussion of cases that he missed using transcripts and audio of arguments, as well as briefs.

Like many other workplaces, the Supreme Court operated remote during the pandemic. Oral arguments were heard via teleconference. Just days before court resumed oral arguments in person, Conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh was tested for COVID-19.

The public is not allowed to enter the courthouse.
