Concern in US that President Trump and his lieutenant were exposed to corona virus
According to the report, it is not yet clear if any of the service personnel were in the White House after being contacted by the president and his staff. It was also reported that 23 members of the organization had recovered from the disease and another 60 were in isolation for fear of being exposed to the virus.
The Secret Service responded to the remarks, saying: "In order to protect the privacy of our agents, their health and operational activities, the service will not disclose how many of its personnel have been infected, isolated or infected with the virus." It is important to note that this is a large organization with 7,000 employees, only a minority of whom are regularly exposed to the President or senior executives.
Panic around the exposure of senior administration to the virus rose to headlines yesterday when it turned out that Shetty Miller, spokeswoman for Vice President Pence and her husband, Stephen Miller, Trump's adviser, had contracted the virus. The two came into contact with the president and the vice president. Also President Trump's personal servant of the virus.
Given the chain of cases, it was decided in the White House that President Trump would be checked daily and not weekly. The president himself made the statement, saying that he was not worried about getting the virus and was seen at various events this week when he was not wearing a protective mask.
"I'm not worried. But you know, look, I'm making things happen. I'm not worried about things. I'm doing what's needed what's needed," Trump said. The president today expressed his confidence that the virus will soon pass, "even if no vaccine is found in the coming year," President Trump said.
