Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff, senior political adviser and three other members of staff have tested positive for coronavirus, according to reports.
Chief of staff Marc Short's diagnosis was first reported on Saturday night by Bloomberg - the outlet that broke the news of Hope Hicks' infection on September 29.
Short's infection was then confirmed by Pence's office - with the fact that the White House did not announce the news raising eyebrows.
On Saturday night the New York Times reported that two people briefed on the matter said that the White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows, had sought to keep news of the outbreak from becoming public.
Marty Obst serves as Pence's senior political adviser but is not a government employee.
SORRY FOR THEM. THEY WILL SURVIVE IT.
