The other two in quarantine: Dr. Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn.

Dr. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said he will begin a "modified quarantine" after making "low-risk" contact with the White House staffer who tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

On Friday, Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary tested positive for the coronavirus, making her the second person who works at the White House complex known to test positive for the virus this week.  Full story at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
