US Vice President Mike Pence plans to maintain an aggressive campaign schedule this week despite an apparent outbreak of the coronavirus among his senior aides, the White House has said.
Pence chief of staff Marc Short and “a couple of key staff surrounding the vice president” have tested positive for the virus, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said on Sunday. Pence, who thus far has tested negative, is considered a “close contact” of the aides under Centres for Disease Control and Prevention criteria but will not quarantine, his spokesperson Devin O’Malley said.
