On May 8, the Trump administration revealed that Miller, who is married to top White House aide Stephen Miller, had contracted COVID-19. She had been asymptomatic and had tested negative the day before, as top members of Trump and Pence’s staff are tested daily.
"Wonderful young woman - Katie, she tested positive, she hasn't come in touch with me," President Trump said of Miller during a roundtable. "It's the press person, tested positive out of the blue."

After Miller’s diagnosis, Pence decided to keep his distance from the president for a few days, though he consistently tested negative for the virus.

The heads of the Food and Drug Administration [FDA] and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] said they would self-quarantine, and Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said he would practice a “modified” quarantine.
