The White House is currently having difficulty keeping COVID19 out of the White House itself.

Three senior members of the coronavirus task force — Drs. Redfield, Hahn, and Fauci — are in some form of quarantine.

And that’s *with* WH surveillance testing and contact tracing.
2/ “Surveillance testing” means testing samples of the population — including asymptomatic people, people who have no reason to think they have it — so health professionals can make inferences about how widespread it is.
3/ “Contact tracing” means sleuthing after someone tests positive to figure out to whom he or she may have spread the virus, such as in this case, Drs. Redfield, Hahn, and Fauci.
4/ Health officials say this is what we need to be doing on a national level. So that you know how prevalent the virus might be in your neighborhood, church, workplace, or school.

We are nowhere near where we need to be on that, they say. Though they are at the WH.
