White House says residence 'staff wear full PPE'
The office of the first lady issued a statement Tuesday detailing the COVID-19 precautions in the "Executive Residence," which is part of the White House where Trump and the first family live.
"Staff wear full PPE and continue to take all necessary precautions, which include updated procedures to protect against cross contamination," the first lady's chief of staff, Stephanie Grisham, said in a statement.
"Residence staff in direct contact with the First Family are tested daily, with support staff tested every 48 hours," the statement continued.
The office said that since March, they've used "hospital-grade disinfection policies, had White House Medical Unit lead coronavirus workshops so staff could have their concerns addressed, significantly reduced staff, and encouraged maximum teleworking."
Grisham declined to tell ABC News if household staff were being given the option not to come in to work while the president and first lady were in isolation or whether staffing was reduced or staggered. Members of the first lady's office have been working from home, Grisham told ABC News.
