Stephen Miller, a senior policy aide to President Donald Trump, tested positive for the coronavirus, he said in a statement on Tuesday.
“Today I tested positive for Covid-19 and am in quarantine,” said Eva Miller, one of Trump’s chief architects on immigration policy. He added that they have been working remotely for the last five days and are self-separating.
Miller, who regularly travels to the president and his close aides, is the latest assistant in Trump’s orbit to test positive for Covid-19. Numerous people associated with the White House or the campaign have tested positive, including Trump and the First Lady.
The president is still battling his Covid-19 infection after showing first symptoms on Thursday, according to the White House. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says people should be kept separate from the point of showing systems for 10 days and, in severe cases, 20 days.
His wife, Katie, who is vice president of communications for Pence, tested positive in May.
