Interior chief latest official to test positive for virus
WASHINGTON (AP) — Interior Secretary David Bernhardt has tested positive for the coronavirus, an agency spokesman said.
Bernhardt’s test results Wednesday make him the latest administration official, including President Donald Trump, to test positive for the virus. Trump was hospitalized for three days in October.
Interior spokesman Nicholas Goodwin said Bernhardt has no symptoms. He “will continue to work on behalf of the American people while in quarantine,” Goodwin said.
