WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has tested negative for COVID-19, but will quarantine after coming in close contact with a person who tested positive for the virus.
A State Department spokesperson said in a statement Wednesday that Pompeo is being closely monitored by the department’s medical team, and declined to identify the individual who tested positive, citing privacy reasons.
