Since U.S. President Trump announced testing positive for COVID-19, at least 27 other people affiliated to the White House have tested positive for the virus. 

It's also spreading to the military and press. More top officials and journalists are in quarantine after being exposed to COVID-19 at the White House.

Before testing positive, Trump held regular meetings and conferences at the White House and traveled between Florida, Georgia, Virginia, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota. 

It is believed most of the COVID-19 cases are linked to Supreme Court Justice candidate Amy Coney Barrett's nomination ceremony in the White House Rose Garden on Saturday, September 26th. 

On Monday, U.S. infectious disease expert Anthony Fauci told CNN everyone who attended the Rose Garden event should "absolutely" be contacted by contact tracers who are following the outbreak at the White House. 

The Washington Post reports, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has not been asked to mobilize a contact tracing team. 

Officials in the states Trump had recently traveled to also say they haven’t received guidance from the White House and are contract tracing independently. 

Some who have interacted with Trump have tested positive negative for the virus but health officials say it can take days after exposure for someone to develop symptoms or test positive.

Vice President Mike Pence, Karen Pence, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, SCOTUS nominee Amy Coney Barrett, Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden, Jill Biden and White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows have tested negative for the virus.
