Eleven members of the US Secret Service have tested positive for the coronavirus as of Thursday evening, according to Yahoo News.
Documents from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seen by Yahoo News, revealed that the agency has 11 active coronavirus cases and an additional 60 employees who are reportedly self-quarantining. On top of this, another 23 members have already recovered from COVID-19, the diseases caused by the coronavirus.
It is not known whether the employees who tested positive for the coronavirus worked at the White House or if they had recent close contact with President Donald Trump or Vice President Mike Pence.
Both Trump and Pence get tested for the disease regularly but have not tested positive so far. However, Trump said this week that he would switch from having weekly to daily tests following the new cases, according to The Hill.
Justin Whelan, a spokesperson for the Secret Service told Yahoo News that the agency is following guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
"To protect the privacy of our employee's health information and for operational security, the Secret Service is not releasing how many of its employees have tested positive for COVID-19, nor how many of its employees were, or currently are, quarantined," Whelan added.
The news comes as President Donald Trump revealed on Friday that Mike Pence's press secretary, Katie Miller, tested positive for the coronavirus. Miller, who is the wife of Stephen Miller — Trump's senior adviser, and primary speechwriter — confirmed her diagnosis with NBC News, adding that she was asymptomatic.
Ivanka Trump's personal assistant has also tested positive for the coronavirus, CNN's Kaitlan Collins reported.

Fears? That's exactly what the left wants! They want the White House shut down, the President and Vice-President put in isolation and Nancy Pelosi as acting President.
I wan to know who snuck it to the SS. The press or someone else.
Fear-spreading by the press. I’d like to see one quote from any WH or SS mentioning any synonym of the word “fear”.
Secret Service are in great shape. Better than most Americans. Its a moot point.
SS agents go home to wives and kids, who are exposed to the world.
This is why the ChiComs calculate they will win the bio war they launched.
We are an open society, and that means open to their bio war infections, in a way that their leadership is not.
Yeah, it’s all a hoax. Nothing at all. Boris Johnson was faking it. And Trump has nothing at all to worry about.
Flu bros are morons.
We’re in a bio-war launched by China, and you turn it into an excuse to attack Americans.
The ChiComs are laughing their asses off at us.

One of the best kept secrets around is BHT short for butylated hydroxy toluene.
It has been around for the better part of thirty years or more, has been approved as a food additive by the FDA as safe for human consumption in small quantities and using common sense. Without going into all the details which would fill many pages some of the benefits are difficult to ignore even so pharmaceutical as well as the medical profession does their best to do so. As a prophylactic it would serve its purpose very well until the right vaccine comes along, without any undesirable side effects, besides being inexpensive and is safer than alcohol consumption, use of tobacco or many other unhealthy eating habits, including many prescription dugs with many undesirable side effects.
Some of the reasons are that that there is no money to be made by pharmaceutical companies as patents related to BHT ran out long time ago and in order to have it approved for medical application it would require an immeasurable amounts of human tests with expenditures in the millions of Dollars which most likely will never be recovered.
On the other hand many doctors may know about it but will refrain from suggesting it as recommending anything which is not approved by the FDA would leave them wide open to lawsuits, as it is pretty well known that one of the American dreams is, to fall on your neighbors property and then sue them for what ever they can get.
Over the years enough information about BHT has surfaced that if used in small quantities to achieve a particular result, such as from 100 mg to about 1g (one gram or 1000mg) and in most cases 250mg to 450mg may do a nice job for some of the things suggested, it may be less harmful than an equivalent amount of Aspirins. Again do your own research and use common sense which appears to be in short supply these days.
Even so if you still apprehensive or hesitant, use it only when one of those nasty viruses appears on the scene and use it as a prophylactic in a small quantity perhaps up to 450 mg and once the danger subside stop taking it. The catch is that in order to do its job BHT works better before you get sick, as BHT will NOT REPAIR ANY DAMAGE which may already have been done by an infectious disease such as the corona virus. Even so if taken afterwards BHT will still continue to disable lipid covered viruses, but to repair any damage already caused may require different medications.
So why to take BHT on the firs place? It has been long known that BHT will damage the lipid layer or cover from LIPID COVERED viruses and the coronavirus happens to be just such a virus and by doing so will prevent such a virus from attaching itself and do its dirty work.
The Principal Benefits of BHT
In order of importance, supplementing with BHT can help with:
Reduce and prevent viral infections such as herpes, thus terminating their outbreaks. Also BHT is effective against many different human and animal viruses including CMV (cytomegalovirus),9 pseudorabies,10 genital herpes,11HIV,12 and some strains of influenza.13 Just a few of the viruses that have a lipid envelope and may be treated by BHT include herpes simplex I, herpes simplex II, herpes zoster, CMV, West Nile virus, HIV virus, influenza virus, hepatitis B and C viruses, avian flu influenza virus and the SARS virus. However, BHT has not been clinically tested to treat these infections.
The CORONAVIRUS is also a lipid covered virus and BHT affects the lipid covering and in turn prevents the virus from attaching itself and do its damage. Now keep in mind that very few things in life are perfect and this holds true for vaccines as well. So when everything comes down to being cut and dried, do you prefer risking being infected with a nasty virus with all kinds of unpredictable side effects or take a chance with some substance which overall has a very good safety record.
Besides most viruses will mutate over time, and by the time someone may come up with the proper vaccine it may no longer match the virus which is currently making its round. But BHT doesn’t care if such a virus mutates or not. As long as such a virus has a lipid coating it will damage it and disable such a virus. But no money can be made following up on it so no one shows any interest in it.

Ominous words...are there locked units of this virus in possession of evil people in this country?
Yes. it's very convenient, isn't it.
“adding that she was asymptomatic.”
Most seem to have no symptoms. So, do we cower in our basements the rest of our lives while Pres. joe dementia (or whatever marxist is the stainist party nominee) tells us how the wonderful gov’t is taking care of us and feeding us crap in our hovels?
‘There was something new each day. A muggy head; acutely painful calf; upset stomach; tinnitus; pins and needles; aching all over; breathlessness; dizziness; arthritis in my hands.’
Many of us lived with such symptoms long before COVID. It sucks to be stricken with disability at a “relatively” young age, but these are not children. t sucks, but that’s life in the real world. Can you imagine sane adults in the 1950s comparing this to polio?
Every single story like this is nothing but unadulterated anecdote. What are the numbers? How many of these people had an undiscovered autoimmune disorder?
Good point....possibly FBI..
Really? Wake me up when we declare war on china. So far it's been unconditional surrender to our new Han masters. We even put a gun to our own head, pulled the trigger, and destroyed our economy without the chicoms having to fire a shot.
The ChiComs are laughing their asses off at us.
See my previous response. The Karens and the Fearbros are like a millstone around the necks of the rest of America, drowning the economy with their cowardice, and they dragging the 99% who are resistant to the china flu down with them.
