Technically, Mc is now Senate majority leader, since that NM senator is hospitalized.

A democrat senator is still able to vote even if he is on a heart/lung machine and breathing and feeding tubes.

The rule of the Senate is that a Senator must be present to vote. That is why on serious votes senators have literally been brought into the chamber on stretchers.

I don’t think that has changed, even with COVID.

House rules may be different.
