White House Correspondents’ Association Cautions Journalists Amid White House COVID-19 Outbreak

The White House Correspondents’ Association cautioned reporters amid ongoing concerns over the COVID-19 outbreak at the White House, stressing that there is a need to take extra precaution.

So far, three reporters have tested positive for the virus along with the press secretary and two of her deputies. More than 15 members of Donald Trump’s inner circle have tested positive, according to CNN. Stephen Miller, Trump’s immigration advisor and speechwriter, is the latest to test positive, revealing his diagnosis on Tuesday.

In a statement posted to their website, the WHCA president Zeke Miller wrote that at the moment there are no new positive tests among White House journalists or any evidence of journalist-to-journalist spread.

The White House, citing privacy concerns, has not provided any details on known or suspected infections when asked by the WHCA. The WHCA has also asked the White House to “avoid knowingly putting in unnecessary jeopardy those serving in the pool who must be present as the eyes and ears of the American public,” and for improvement of the safety conditions.

In accordance with CDC guidelines, face coverings are required in shared spaces, and journalists are asked to work outdoors as much as possible or avoid the White House grounds altogether. 

“Still, despite everything we’ve experienced in recent days, it would be foolish of us to assume that the situation at the White House or on the campaign trail will improve dramatically over the coming four weeks,” the letter reads.

The WHCA has taken steps since the onset of the pandemic in March to provide a safe working environment for journalists at the White House. Sitting in the briefing room was reduced, face masks are mandatory, and the White House has followed recommendations from the CDC and local government.
