A White House correspondent is now suspected of having the COVID-19 Coronavirus.
White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) President Jonathan Karl announced on Monday, "One of our colleagues has a suspected case of COVID-19.”
Karl, a White House correspondent for ABC, also admitted that the the person believed to be infected was at the White House on numerous occasions in the past two weeks. That includes three dats that both the president and Vice President Pence held coronavirus task force meetings in a small briefing room.
The Hill reports:
The WHCA on Monday also released a revised seating chart "to further implement social distancing in the press room."
"As we have said since this crisis began, our priority is ensuring that we can maintain a healthy pool to provide coverage of the president. To that end, the WHCA took the emergency step last month to issue a new, temporary seating chart," the association announcement reads.
"Today, we are revising the temporary seating chart again to further implement social distancing in the press room, effective immediately," it continues.
Trump told reporters Thursday they were "sitting too close" in the briefing room, which only seats a maximum of 48 people.
"You're actually sitting too close," Trump said. "Really, we should probably get rid of about 75, 80 percent of you. I'll have just two or three of you that I like in this room. I think that's a great way of doing it."
"You're actually much too close," he told one reporter. "You should move. You should move immediately."
They acted as if he was being rude, but it sounds like Trump had the right idea!
