Melania Trump ordered the annual Easter Egg Roll cancelled because of the coronavirus as the White House enacted new testing protocols to prevent the spread of the disease and keep it from getting to President Donald Trump and his team. All staff, Secret Service agents and members of the media had their temperature taken by staff from the White House physician's office before they could enter the White House complex on Monday morning. Hundreds of children and their families attend the Easter Egg Roll, which takes place on the South Lawn of the White House. President Trump, 73, is considered at risk for the virus because of his age. Both the U.S. Capitol and the White House have ended public tours of their buildings.
