Judge Barrett has tested negative, but she would still be inside the incubation period if Sen. Lee did expose her. In other words, a test likely wouldn’t show yet that she’s positive.

Current list of people in the president’s orbit who are known to have tested positive this week:

-First Lady Melania Trump
-GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel
-Trump aide Hope Hicks
-Sen. Mike Lee

Likely hundreds of people have been in close contact with them and the president.

There are now six members in the president’s orbit who are known to have tested positive:

-FLOTUS
-Hope Hicks
-Sen. Lee
-Sen. Tillis
-Ronna McDaniel
-John Jenkins

Likely hundreds of potential exposures resulting from those six positives and the president.

Update: There are now seven members in the president’s orbit who are known to have tested positive:

-FLOTUS
