Monies was at the BOK Center last Saturday to cover the Trump rally and said he was wearing a mask and practicing social distancing. She was never close to the President.
“I can’t say definitively that I got it at the rally,” Monies told The Associated Press. “But it’s someone I’ve been in contact with in the past two weeks.”
“I spent a couple of hours contacting anyone I was in contact with inside, some friends in the neighborhood,” he added. “I felt it was my responsibility to tell people I knew myself that I had tested positive.”
The news of Monies’ diagnosis comes after six Trump campaign employees and two Secret Service members working in Tulsa before the rally tested positive for COVID-19.
Oklahoma, as well as several other southern and western states, saw an increase in coronavirus cases in recent weeks as their economy reopened.
