Vice President Mike Pence was among dozens of people at a White House Rose Garden event. At least eight people who attended the event, including the president, have tested positive for coronavirus. Why isn't Pence quarantining?
The White House and national security agencies must move quickly to ensure the chain of command is secure and the military is prepared to respond without delay to provocation or attack, said Panetta, who also served as Chief of Staff to President Bill Clinton.
O'Malley told USA TODAY on Saturday that Pence’s physician determined that the CDC guidelines of close contact with a COVID-positive individual – most notably contact less than 6 feet apart and/or more than 15 minutes, and occurring within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms – has not occurred.
The extent of Trump’s illness was unclear Saturday, with White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and White House physician Sean Conley offering differing assessments of the president’s condition. At least eight people who attended the Sept. 26 Rose Garden event announcing Judge Barrett’s nomination have since confirmed they contracted the virus. They include the first lady, former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, U.S. Sen. Mike Lee of Utah and the University of Notre Dame president, the Rev. John Jenkins.

Pence ordered borders closed after CDC experts refusedVice President Mike Pence in March directed the nation’s top disease control agency to use its emergency powers to effectively seal the U.S. borders, overruling the agency’s scientists who said there was no evidence the action would slow the coronavirus, according to two former health officials. The top Centers for Disease Control and Prevention doctor who oversees these types of orders had refused to comply with a Trump administration directive saying there was no valid public health reason to issue it, according to three people with direct knowledge of the doctor’s refusal. The vice president, who had taken over the Trump administration’s response to the growing pandemic, called Dr. Robert Redfield, the CDC’s director, and told him to use the agency’s special legal authority in a pandemic anyway.
