彭斯办公室发言人凯蒂·米勒在一份声明中说，“今晚我们被告知，副总统彭斯办公室的一名成员新冠病毒检测呈阳性。总统川普和副总统彭斯都没有与该名员工密切接触。我们正在根据CDC的指南进一步追踪密切接触者。”
此前，总统川普接待过的巴西访美代表团中有成员确诊新冠。尽管川普坚称与那名成员没有密切接触，但他还是于上周接受了新冠病毒检测。白宫宣布，结果是阴性。目前不清楚副总统彭斯是否接受过检测。
彭斯受川普任命，总揽美国新冠疫情应对。

Vice President Michel Pensée's office confirmed Friday evening that a staff member had tested positive for a new crown.

It is unclear whether Vice President Michel Pensée was tested.
