Katie Miller, spokeswoman for US Vice President Mike Pence, tests positive for Covid-19, becoming the second White House staffer to contract the disease this week
US Vice President Mike Pence and Karen Pence leave the Rose Garden of the White House following National Day of Prayer event at the White House May 07, 2020 in Washington, DC.
News that staffer Katie Miller had fallen ill boosted fears that the White House is at risk of becoming a viral hot spot just when Trump is leading efforts to wind down nationwide quarantine measures that have devastated the world's biggest economy. A senior administration official initially said only that a member of Pence's staff had been tested and found to have coronavirus.
As recently as Thursday, Miller was seen mingling with officials at an outdoor prayer ceremony hosted by Trump and attended by dozens of people, including the wives of Trump and Pence and many senior staff.
