Vice President Mike Pence is self-isolating away from the White House following his press secretary's diagnosis of Covid-19 on Friday, said three people familiar with the situation.
The vice president didn't attend a meeting on Saturday with President Donald Trump and top military officials.
Pence tested negative for coronavirus infection on Sunday, one of the people said. He and Trump have been tested regularly. He's staying at his home at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Washington out of an abundance of caution, said the people, who asked not to be identified because his isolation hasn't been publicly announced.
Pence's press secretary, Katie Miller, tested positive for coronavirus on Friday. Miller is the primary spokeswoman for the White House coronavirus task force, which Pence leads and which last met on Thursday.

On 2nd edit: CNN reported pence will not self-isolate and will thus keep putting at risk other people's health and perhaps even potentially provoke their death... what a disgusting sycophant!!

After all, he does not have coronavirus and the gov't is open for business.
