White House press aide Jalen Drummond tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, according to a Bloomberg News reporter, adding to the growing list of people to contract the virus after attending a White House Rose Garden ceremony.
Drummond is the third aide under White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany to test positive for COVID-19. Press deputies Chad Gilmartin and Karoline Leavitt have also reportedly tested positive for the virus, according to CNN, and McEnany herself tested positive on Monday.
Drummond was reportedly in attendance at the White House Rose Garden event on Sept. 26, in which President Trump announced his nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as an associate Supreme Court Justice.
Since the event, multiple attendees close to the president have tested positive for the virus, including the president himself and first lady Melania Trump.
