Pence Self-Isolating After Aide Tests Positive for Coronavirus


Vice President Mike Pence is self-isolating away from the White House following his press secretary’s diagnosis of Covid-19 on Friday, said three people familiar with the situation.

The vice president didn’t attend a meeting on Saturday with President Donald Trump and top military officials.

Pence tested negative for coronavirus infection on Sunday but is staying home out of an abundance of caution, said the people, who asked not to be identified because his isolation hasn’t been publicly announced.

Pence’s press secretary, Katie Miller, tested positive for coronavirus on Friday. Miller is the primary spokeswoman for the White House coronavirus task force, which Pence leads and which last met on Thursday.

(CNN)Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee will self-quarantine for 14 days after a staffer in his office tested positive for the novel coronavirus,his office announced Sunday evening.
Alexander's chief of staff David Cleary said in a statement that the Republican senator tested negative for the virus on May 7 and hasn't shown any symptoms, but "out of an abundance of caution, has decided not to return to Washington, DC, and will self-quarantine in Tennessee for 14 days."
"Almost all of the senator's Washington, DC, staff are working from home, and there is no need for any other staff member to self-quarantine," Cleary said, noting that the staffer who tested positive is "recovering at home and is doing well."
Alexander, the GOP chairman of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, will still chair the committee's hearing on Tuesday by video conference, the statement said.
In fact, all of the witnesses set to participate in that hearing -- centered around the federal government's response to the virus -- will testify remotely.
