Earlier Saturday, Pence said that both he and his wife would take the coronavirus test after one of his staffers tested positive for the virus.
Pence told reporters at the White House that the staffer who tested positive for the virus had “mild cold-like symptoms” for about a day-and-a-half and had not been to the White House since Monday.
He said that although his doctor said a test was not necessary, he decided to get one anyway.
“Given the unique position that I have as vice president and the leader of the White House coronavirus task force, both I and my wife will be tested for the coronavirus this afternoon,” Pence said.
