The Right Scoop by The Right Scoop • No Comments

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany has just announced that she’s tested positive for COVID-19:

Kayleigh points out that she first tested negative multiple times since Thursday, she’s now testing positive for the virus.



This will be a concern since she held a press conference on Thursday, but she tries to assuage those concerns by saying “No reporters, producers, or members of the press are listed as close contacts by the White House Medical Unit.” Also she wants people to know that she had zero knowledge of Hope Hicks’ diagnosis when she held the press conference.

She will begin her quarantine today and we look forward to her full recovery!

UPDATE 2: Here’s a photo. Looks like more than six feet to me:
