WASHINGTON (Reuters) - White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said on Monday she tested positive for COVID-19, while several U.S. media outlets reported that a number of other White House staff members also were confirmed to have been infected with the novel coronavirus.

McEnany, in a statement days after U.S. President Trump announced he had COVID-19 last week, said she would begin quarantining and that the White House medical unit does not list any members of the press as close contacts.
