Iran Press/ America: Pence’s spokeswoman Katie Miller claimed Friday that the staff member, who is not being identified, did not have “close contact” to either the vice president or President Donald Trump.
“This evening we were notified that a member of the Office of the Vice President tested positive for the Coronavirus,” Miller said in a statement. “Neither President Trump nor Vice President Pence had close contact with the individual.”
Miller said contact tracing, or contacting everyone the individual has been in contact with, is being conducted in accordance with guidelines issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Miller says Pence’s office was notified Friday evening of the positive test result.
"I have not been tested yet," Pence said on Monday. "I’m in regular consultation with the White House physician, and he said I’ve not been exposed to anyone for any period of time that had the coronavirus, and that my wife and I have no symptoms."
