In a memo titled “POTUS Interactions and Precautions” sent to the White House this week, staff members were warned about what to do when interacting with the President, including acquiring personal protective equipment from an “Isolation Cart.”
Staff members need only go to the Oval Office or the residence on the second floor, where the first family lives, if they are asked to go and are expected to be there. If staff members are not in close contact with the president, meaning they are more than two meters from him, only a ‘surgical mask’ and hand sanitizer are required, according to the memo from the Office of Administration of the White House, which was reviewed. by a Times reporter.

PPE is provided in the isolation cart ‘found’ in the lobby area of the second floor residence and the Oval Office outside, ‘the memo read.
