While the White House has not insisted on wearing facial coverings as a safety measure against the virus, it has in place a rigorous testing regimen. The president is tested regularly, as are his most senior aides, and anyone in close proximity to Trump or Vice President Mike Pence is tested prior to the day’s events, including reporters.
