Despite growing numbers of Congress who are quarantined for exposure to Coronavirus, Trump has not yet been tested.
According to Stephanie (on-the-rocks) Grisham, because Trump has not had prolonged exposure to anyone with contact, is not experiencing any symptoms and is in excellent health, he is not being tested.
Mike Pence was asked whether Trump had been tested, and was clueless.
“I really don’t know the answer to the question, but we’ll refer that question and we will get you an answer from the White House physician very quickly,” Pence, who leads the administration’s coronavirus task force, said during a White House press briefing Monday evening.
Trump himself was at the same briefing with Pence and when asked if he had been tested, didn’t answer and left the room.
Trump rode in a limousine and Air Force One on Monday with Matt Gaetz, who was then informed he had been in contact at CPAC with the unnamed infected attendee.
Trump also shook hands with Doug Collins, who has now also self-quarantined.
“I just simply don’t know what the White House physician has recommended to the President,” Pence said, adding, “we’ll let you know tonight” whether he has been or will be tested for the virus.
