Dr. Anthony Fauci In 'Modified' Quarantine After Possible Virus Exposure

Dr. Anthony Fauci is going into self-isolation.

The 79-year-old director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases revealed that he is going into a “modified” self-quarantine after coming in contact with the White House staffer who recently tested positive for the virus.

Dr. Fauci‘s version of self-isolation entails him working from home with a mask on for the next 14 days and might go into his office only if needed.

Fauci said he made “low-risk” contact with the staffer, therefore won’t go full quarantine. Dr. Fauci also revealed that he is currently negative for the virus.

Last week, it was revealed that Vice President Mike Pence‘s press secretary, Katie Miller had tested positive. President Donald Trump‘s personal valet also tested positive for the virus.
