White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany has tested positive for Covid-19, she tweeted in a statement Monday morning.
McEnany emphasized that she had previously tested negatively “consistently” and is experiencing no symptoms, CNN reported.
McEnany is the latest White House staffer to test positive for the virus, adding to questions about how widespread the West Wing outbreak will become. McEnany’s diagnosis is a stark reminder that the administration has flouted science and best practices before and even after the President tested positive. She continued to publicly shirk mask usage in the days since President Donald Trump and other staffers and outside advisers tested positive for the virus.
She was scheduled to appear on Fox News on Monday morning but the appearance was canceled. The press secretary later shared she was positive for the virus.
