(CNN)Staff at the White House Executive Residence are feeling "nervous" over President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump testing positive for Covid-19, a source familiar with White House operations told CNN Friday.

The residence staff, who serve, cook and clean for the first family, is "very careful, but there is concern," the source said.

The first couple is currently in isolation inside the White House residence after the President announced on Twitter at nearly 1 a.m. ET Friday that he and the first lady both contracted the virus.

The White House residence is typically staffed by approximately 90 full-time workers, including six butlers and eight ushers, multiple cooks, housekeepers, florists and other maintenance and support workers who assist in the upkeep of the 132-room, 55,000 square foot mansion.
