News: I have obtained a memo from the @WHCA board to WH reporters with word of "two additional cases of COVID-19 at the White House." A journalist received a preliminary positive result. And a WH staffer who sits in the "lower press" area received a confirmed positive result.
"All other journalists tested today" at the White House "tested negative," according to the @WHCA memo.

The board said "we can't stress enough the importance of mask-wearing, social distancing and common sense, especially on the White House complex."
A followup memo, just a few minutes ago, says "another member of our press corps tested positive today." This person was last at the WH on Saturday (the day of the SCOTUS event) and traveled on Air Force One for the PA rally that night. The journalist showed symptoms yesterday.
