More than 130 Secret Service agents who protect President Donald Trump, the White House and the first family have been ordered to isolate because they caught COVID or were in close contact with someone who was infected with the virus. The Secret Service is examining whether the infections are travel related or trace back to the White House, where many agents work, an official told The Post. White House staff, for the most part, do not wear face masks. The Secret Service has about 1,300 officers in its Uniformed Division to guard the White House and the vice president’s residence. Most did not wear face masks although the White House has said guests were given COVID tests before the event.
