Reporters had their body temperatures taken by staff at the White House as a precaution against the coronavirus.
One was tested three times by the White House Medical Unit over a 15-minute period, and each time the result registered above the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guideline of what constitutes a fever, 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit, according to Katie Miller, who is a press secretary to Vice President Mike Pence.
Fever is one of the symptoms for the coronavirus.
