President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence said Thursday they would be tested daily for Covid-19 after a member of the U.S. military who works on the White House campus contracted the virus.
Trump told reporters he had “very little contact” with the service member who was infected, and that he tested negative both Wednesday and Thursday. The president said he would be tested daily going forward, instead of once a week.
