Trump administration officials say Vice President Mike Pence will be at the White House today despite an earlier report he would be working from home and self-isolating after an aide tested positive for the Coronavirus last week.

Even though the vice president will be on the job, administration officials say Pence is voluntarily keeping his distance from other people.

Pence has repeatedly tested negative for COVID-19 since his exposure.

Both President Trump's personal valet and the vice president's press secretary, Katie Miller, have tested positive for coronavirus.

President Trump has had contact with both people in the past week.

Meanwhile, the Navy's top admiral and three key members of the Coronavirus Task Force are self-isolating or working from home after possible exposure to COVID-19: Dr. Anthony Fauci, CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield, and FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn.

All are considered at relatively low risk for infection.

On ABC's "This Week" program, Lawrence Alan Kudlow, director of the United States National Economic Council, was asked if he and other White House staffers will be following their example.

"Well, we will take the advice of the White House medical unit, which is the best in the business. There may be. I don't want to rule anything in or rule anything out," Kudlow replied.
