Countermeasure at government headquarters: large-scale disinfection! Yesterday, employees dressed in full protective clothing sprayed the orphan rooms in the west wing of the building with an agent.
A Trump spokesperson said the president would stay away from White House workrooms for the time being due to the infection and that he currently only works from his second-floor residence.
Trump announced that he wanted to do the next television duel with challenger Joe Biden. But Biden is only ready to do this if Trump is officially no longer contagious by then.
Meanwhile 34 infected people
Broadcaster ABC News reported, citing an internal document from the civil protection agency (Fema), that 34 “White House employees and other contacts” had been infected with the virus in recent days.
In addition to the White House spokeswoman, Trump’s close advisers Hope Hicks and Stephen Miller also tested positive. The White House is extremely cautious about the scope of the outbreak with reference to personal rights.
