Anthony Fauci quarantined after contact with infected person confirmed

Top medical advisor Anthony Fauci is the third member of the White House coronavirus task force to go into home isolation for 14 days. He does this because he had contact with a White House employee who tested positive for the corona virus. This is reported by various American media.

Director Robert Redfield of the US health service CDC and director Stephen Hahn of the US drug watchdog FDA previously announced that they would be quarantined after they also met someone who has the lung virus among its members. Hahn and Redfield are also members of the coronavirus task force.

A White House spokesman declined to confirm to CNN the message that Redfield is going into isolation. But he said President Donald Trump’s doctor and White House officials “continue to work closely together to ensure that every precaution is taken to keep the President, his family, and the entire White House safe and sound.”
