U.S. Food and Drug Administration Director Stephen Hahn is starting two weeks of self-quarantine after coming into contact with a person who tested positive for the coronavirus.

Hahn immediately took a diagnostic test and tested negative for the virus, an FDA spokesperson said.

Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary, Katie Miller, tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday, just one day after news broke that President Trump’s personal valet also tested positive. Trump’s valet, who is a member of the military, reportedly had very close contact with the president. The president has denied having close contact with the valet.
