"We are not going to control the pandemic," says Mark Meadows 0:48
(CNN) -
White House Secretary General Mark Meadows has tested positive for coronavirus, two officials confirmed to CNN.
Meadows told people after the election that he had coronavirus, but it was unclear when he first tested positive, according to sources.
He had traveled with President Donald Trump on Sunday and Monday.
He was also at the White House election party on Tuesday and came into close contact with members of the president's family.
White House officials are now alarmed, given that Meadows has been around other staff members while potentially contagious, an aide told CNN.
Bloomberg was the first to report the positive test for Meadows.
