(UTV | COLOMBO) – White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has tested positive for Covid-19, officials have told US media.
It was not immediately clear how Mr Meadows – who has often appeared at public events without a face mask – was infected.
He is the latest Trump administration official to contract the disease, which has killed some 230,000 Americans.
On Friday, the US set a third straight daily record for new cases, with more than 127,000 infections.
The country’s coronavirus outbreak was a key policy battleground in the run-up to the 3 November election, and contributed to a surge in postal and early in-person voting.
