– The White House has confirmed that press secretary Kayleigh McEnany has tested positive for the coronavirus that has kept President Trump at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center since Friday, the Washington Post reports. The 74-year-old is being treated with a steroid, dexmethasone, which is usually only used in the most severe cases of such illnesses. McEnany, a well-known figure in the White House, said in a statement Monday that she will begin the quarantine process for anyone who has tested positive for the virus, which has now infected 7.4 million Americans and killed more than 209,000, Reuters reports. Trump, who is being treated with an intravenous antiviral drug, is still in the hospital and will need to continue treatment even if he is discharged. On Monday, Trump released a stream of more than a dozen messages encouraging Americans to vote for him in the November election, including posts that read “LAW & ORDER. VOTE!” and “RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. VOTE!” McEnany is a well-known figure at the forefront of the White House’s often combative dealings with the media. Trump has repeatedly flouted social-distancing guidelines meant to curb its spread. “Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary presidential ‘drive-by’ just now has to be quarantined for 14 days,” James Phillips, an attending physician at the Walter Reed facility, tells CBS’ This Morning. “They might get sick. They may die. For political theater.”
