'Can move forward': Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett tests negative for coronavirus

Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court, has tested negative for COVID-19.

White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere told the Washington Examiner on Friday morning that Barrett, who has recently been making the rounds on Capitol Hill and meeting with senators, is coronavirus-free.

“Judge Barrett was with the president last on Saturday when she was nominated. Judge Barrett is tested daily for COVID-19 — she has tested negative,” Deere, who is also a special assistant to the president, said.

“She is following CDC guidance and best practices, including social distancing, wearing face coverings, and frequently washes hands,” he added.
