Several other attendees at the Barrett event have also tested positive, including former White House adviser Kellyanne Conway, Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.). John I. Jenkins, who attended the White House event, said earlier Friday that he had tested positive for the virus and was in quarantine. Like Jenkins, several others attendees from Notre Dame at the White House ceremony did not wear masks, according to the person familiar with the event. McKenna praised the law school’s dean, G. Marcus Cole, for wearing a mask at the White House event and quarantining afterward. She said the concern peaked this week following the White House event for Barrett.
