October 16 coronavirus news

CNN  

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, in his first televised interview since his release from the hospital, reiterated that no contact tracing was done by the White House after he tested positive for Covid-19. Some context: The White House told staff in an email last week that it had completed “all contact tracing” for positive Covid-19 cases identified at the White House, and urged anyone who hadn’t been contacted and suspected they had contact with someone infected by the virus to reach out to the White House Medical Office. However, New York Times White House correspondent and CNN contributor Michael Shear, who tested positive for the virus following direct interaction with White House officials, told CNN late Tuesday that there’s been no outreach by the White House to do contact tracing or to follow up on his condition. At least one other White House official told CNN that they’ve also alerted officials that they have had direct contact with positive White House personnel and received no guidance on how to proceed.
