Three top-ranking Trump administration health officials are in some form of quarantine after possible exposure in the White House - forcing them to self-isolate from a disease they are responsible for fighting.
CDC Director Robert Redfield and Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious disease expert, on Saturday evening disclosed plans to isolate over the next two weeks after "low-risk" contact with an infected person. A day earlier, FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn began two weeks of self-quarantine after coming in contact with White House spokesperson Katie Miller, who tested positive for Covid-19 on Friday.
All three officials serve on the White House coronavirus task force, which the administration this week declared would remain intact - shortly after President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence suggested its work would be winding down as they shifted focus to reopening the country.
