Miller is now the second White House staff member known to have tested positive for the coronavirus this week, after one of Trump's personal valets tested positive on Thursday. Miller was frequently in contact with members of the press, and the White House is now making more coronavirus testing available to journalists, a White House official told CNN's Jim Acosta. A senior White House official said contact tracing was performed inside the White House after Katie Miller's positive test. The White House is now making sure staffers wear masks in the White House residence, and coronavirus tests and temperature checks are being boosted throughout the West Wing. Friday's case marks the second time the White House has said a Pence staff member has tested positive for the coronavirus.
