White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has tested positive for Corona

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has tested positive for Covid-19, officials have told US media. He is the latest Trump administration official to contract the disease, which has killed some 230,000 Americans. In late October, Mr Meadows said in an interview with CNN that the US was “not going to control the pandemic”, saying that Covid-19 could only be defeated by “mitigation areas” like vaccines and therapeutics. Mr. Meadows travelled with the president on the final days of campaigning and was at an election night party attended by dozens of Trump supporters at the White House.
