United States Vice President Pence rejects quarantine rules
Vice President Mike Pence is not isolated at home after contact with an infected person against the reports. “Pence is not in quarantine,” spokesman Devin O’Malley said, wanting to perform his duties regularly.
The virus is getting closer to the President of the United States, Donald Trump. Her main virologist is in quarantine and one of the staff members has tested positive. Vice President Mike Pence now has to limit his contacts. Why is it so difficult to protect the White House?
FFor Donald Trump, the news is out of time. The President of the United States wants to reopen the country as soon as possible so that the hot period of his presidential election campaign does not coincide with an economic disaster. Now, of all time, the coronavirus is getting closer than ever. At least two people with access to the White House have tested positive.
More recently, Trump’s vice president had to admit that he had come into contact with a person infected with a crown. Trump himself had identified Pence’s spokeswoman, Katie Miller, as the infected person.
Even if the spokeswoman had no direct contact with Trump, she was an indirect danger to him. Katie Miller is married to Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to Trump. According to the information, it has been negative.
Pence announced Sunday that he plans to reduce the number of his contacts. However, according to the White House, he is not in quarantine and plans to return to the White House on Monday. Daily tests for corona virus so far have been negative for him.
In fact, like the President, Pence is one of the most vulnerable people in the White House because of the amount of contacts he has. Pence has led a coronavirus task force for two months.
Three members of the quarantine working group
There, three members had already entered voluntary quarantine. Trump’s chief virologist, Anthony Fauci, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Robert Redfield, and director of the Food and Drug Administration, FDA, Stephen Hahn.
It is unknown who the three main members of the working group had contact with. But it is probably also about Katie Miller, since she is the first press officer of the working group. Fauci said he would now work primarily in the home office. But he would come to the White House if called.
Last week, one of Trump’s personal servers tested positive for the corona virus. The army member reportedly works in the west wing and serves meals to the president, among other things. As the White House reports, the aide developed symptoms last Tuesday and tested positive shortly thereafter.
Trump is angry
As the “NBC News” news site reports, Trump was very angry and accused employees of not doing everything possible to protect him. According to the president, he is no longer tested weekly, but daily to detect the virus. But testing “is not a perfect art,” he said.
In fact, there is a delay between the infection of a person and the possibility of being able to detect the coronavirus with a test. Therefore, even testing does not guarantee that the virus will remain outside the White House.
Employees who come into closest contact with Trump are also regularly evaluated. Anyone entering the White House must measure their temperature. However, only a few employees are said to wear protective masks in the west wing of the White House.
Trump himself already had contact with a Brazilian delegation at his resort in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, in March, at least one member subsequently tested positive for Corona.
