Dr. Anthony Fauci is taking 'appropriate precautions,' and two other White House Coronavirus Task Force members will self-quarantine for two weeks.
The CDC and FDA would not disclose the identity of the person who had tested positive and with whom the agency leaders had come in contact.
The coronavirus pandemic has been creeping closer to the inner circle of the White House in the past week, as two employees there have tested positive. The White House's efforts to project a sense of normalcy in order to persuade Americans to move past coronavirus have often been complicated by the virus itself. The administration has held several carefully orchestrated events in recent days to promote such an image, including a series of Oval Office meetings between Trump and governors, nurses and business leaders. But often, such outings end up underscoring the virus' grip on American life.
