U.S. Vice President Mike Pence put himself in isolation after hearing that the spokeswoman, Katie Miller, tested positive for covid-19.
Mike Pence did not attend a meeting of President Donald Trump with military chiefs on Saturday, having gone into isolation on his own after hearing that the spokeswoman, Katie Miller, had tested positive for covid-19.
The news of Mike Pence’s isolation was advanced this Sunday by the online edition of the century-old Australian newspaper “The Age”, which supports the news with information gathered from three people close to the US vice president.
Pence tested negative for coronavirus on Sunday, said one of The Age’s sources. Both the vice president and Trump are tested daily, as the US president recently said, who refuses to stop working or go into prophylactic isolation.
Katie Miller is the second White House employee to test positive, after it was known during the week that a military adviser close to Trump is also infected with the new coronavirus.
Mike Pence is in isolation at a home at the Washington Naval Observatory, under strong health surveillance measures, said the sources quoted by “The Age”, on condition of anonymity.
Katie Miller is married to Stephen Miller, one of Donald Trump’s most controversial and closest advisers. A radical adviser, whose resignation was already claimed in late 2019, for alleged support for white supremacists.
