McEnany tests positive for coronavirus
White House
press secretary Kayleigh McEnany announced on Twitter that she has tested
positive for the coronavirus.
In a
statement, McEnany said she had tested positive on Monday morning, but is not
experiencing any symptoms. She said she had previously tested negative for the
virus every day since Thursday.
“No
reporters, producers or members of the press were listed as close contacts by
the White House medical unit,” she said. “Moreover, I definitively had no
knowledge of Hope Hicks’ diagnosis prior to holding a White House press
briefing on Thursday.”
McEnany
said she will begin the quarantine process and work remotely.
The CDC
guidelines recommend someone with exposure to the virus immediately
self-quarantine. McEnany spoke to reporters – without a mask – as recently as
yesterday.
She is at
least the 11th person close to the president to be diagnosed with coronavirus.
