Top United States military leaders are under self-quarantine after a senior coast guard official tested positive for the coronavirus, the Pentagon said Tuesday. Pentagon spokesperson Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement that none have exhibited symptoms or have so far tested positive. Officials said that is where most of the military leaders were exposed to him, but he also had other meetings with officials. He attended an event for military families at the White House about 10 days ago, as did several military leaders. "Senior military leaders are able to remain fully mission capable and perform their duties from an alternative work location," he said.
