President Donald Trump’s national security advisor tests positive for COVID-19
"There is no risk of exposure to the president or the vice president," it added
President Donald Trump’s national security advisor, Robert O’Brien, has tested positive for COVID-19, the White House said Monday.
O’Brien, who holds a key role in the administration, “has been self-isolating and working from a secure location off site,” the White House said in a statement.
“There is no risk of exposure to the president or the vice president,” it added.
The White House has said staff is regularly tested for the virus, and O’Brien is the most senior official to be found positive amid the pandemic.
A U.S military member who works at the White House as a valet tested positive for coronavirus in May as did Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary.
