Vice President Pence's spokeswoman is positive with coronary.

Earlier, White House Press Secretary Kaylay McEnanny had confirmed that a member of the Pence Vice President's team had tested positive but without providing further details. A senior administration official stressed that neither President Trump nor Vice President Pence had recently been in contact with Mrs. Miller.

On Friday, a visit by Vice President to Des Moines, Iowa was delayed for over an hour after a positive test within Mr. Pence's team. American Voice correspondent Patsy Widakuswara, one of the journalists accompanying the vice president, reports that several passengers were seen getting off the plane.

She quoted the administration official as saying to reporters on the plane that the White House is identifying people who had contact with the advisor and urged six staff members to exit the plane “as a measure of caution”. The two successive cases added concern about the possibility of infecting the president and vice president, who have resumed a tight travel and activity programme recently.

The White House took on Friday to protect its work to keep President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence from infection. “We have taken every precautionary move to protect the president,” said Mrs. McEnanny before reporters at a White House press conference. She also spoke of regular cleaning of the facilities and respecting the twom physical distance guidelines between individuals, rules that have not always been followed in events full of people at the White House.

We have done everything that Dr. (Deborah) Birx and Dr. (Anthony) Fauci have asked us to do,” she added, referring to the two highly respected doctors in the Coronavirus task force at the White House. But Friday, President Trump was asked in an interview of Fox News television if those serving food would use masks and he replied: “They've already started. ”

The White House is also making daily tests of coronary for the president and vice president, earlier each week. Both Trump and Pence tested negative for the virus and said they felt good. President Trump told Fox News that he has not yet been tested for antibodies to the new coronary, but that this would certainly be done soon.

President Trump attended a public event in World War II memorial of senior veterans. Neither he nor the first lady Melanie Trump had masks on the ceremony. The mask carried neither veterans nor soldiers present.

Asked about the security of the elderly at the ceremony, press secretary McEnanny said it was their choice: “they chose to go there because they chose to put the nation on themselves. They wanted to be with their general commander on this important day,” she said. / VOA
