Yesterday he had spoken with journalists without a mask, today he made his corona positive test public: White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany is now one of the contagion cases in the vicinity of the president of the United States.
After the infection of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, with the corona virus, more cases of infection have been known in the White House.
White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany wrote on her Twitter account that a morning test was positive, but she has had no symptoms so far. The 32-year-old said she would be quarantined and would work from home.
McEnany had continued to work in the White House for the past few days and had spoken to reporters outside the White House the day before testing positive. She did not wear a mask. She said the White House medical experts did not mention the media representatives as close contacts. McEnany had previously described wearing a mask as a “personal decision” and repeatedly noted that it should be tried on regularly.
According to information from the Reuters news agency, which refers to anonymous sources, another employee of the White House press department and a member of the communications office tested positive for the corona virus.
Contagions in the White House
A total of eleven people around the president have been infected with the virus, including first lady Melania Trump, presidential adviser Hope Hicks, Trump’s aide Nicholas Luna and his campaign leader Bill Stepien. Journalists have also been infected.
An event at the White House Rose Garden is believed to have contributed to the spread of the virus. There, a week ago on Saturday, conservative attorney Amy Coney Barrett was nominated for the vacancy on the Supreme Court. More than 100 people gathered in a small space, hardly anyone wearing a mask or keeping their distance.
Trump made his infection public on Friday and was hospitalized shortly after. Meanwhile, his health has continued to improve, according to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Meadows was optimistic that Trump could return to the White House soon. Previously, there was conflicting information about the president’s illness.
