NEW YORK (Dagbladet): – Vice President Mike Pence isolated himself from the White House after a staff member was diagnosed with coronavirus on Friday, according to several people familiar with the situation. Pence has repeatedly tested negative for covid-19, including today, I am told, writes Jennifer Jacobs, senior at Bloomberg News in twitter.
Bloomberg News writes about self-imposed quarantine.
Not in a meeting
Pence did not attend a meeting on Saturday with President Donald Trump and military leaders. The vice president should again have tested negative for coronavirus on Sunday.
“But he stays home to be safe,” writes the news site.
In recent days, both Vice President Mike Pence’s press spokesperson Katie Miller and a military officer who worked closely with President Donald Trump have tested positive for the coronavirus. This has caused further chaos in the White House, according to various US media, Dagbladet wrote earlier this weekend.
Miller is also married to Trump’s close senior adviser, Stephen Miller.
Until recently, Trump and Pence had kept very close to each other without face masks. Both have been criticized for not pursuing social distancing. Several have also pointed out how the president and vice president may have to stay apart to reduce the risk of both being affected by the coronavirus at the same time.

Quarantine
The situation has led to at least three members of Trump’s effort to combat the crown virus quarantine. All three are the head of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Stephen Hahn, who is in charge of drug and vaccine approvals, and Robert Redfield, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC), which corresponds to the Norwegian INSP. Leading infection expert Anthony Fauci has also been quarantined.
