The White House has advised staffers exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms to stay at home days after the president tested positive.

An all-staff email sent on Sunday urges anyone with COVID symptoms to"please stay home" and"do not come to work." The email also tells any staff with symptoms to"immediately contact your primary care provider" and"inform [your] supervisors."'s Washington Correspondent Olivia Nuzzi. She took to Twitter to point out that the advice came only after the president was admitted to Walter Reed Medical Center with the disease.

Nuzzi also noted confusion and even anger at the White House about the way the administration handled the president's diagnosis. There has been significant criticism about mixed messaging surrounding his illness. "[A] senior White House official was angry that staff had been kept in the dark, that nobody had been told what to do about the virus spreading rapidly in their own workplace," Nuzzi said.

Three days after the public learned about President Trump’s COVID-19 infection and the viruses spread through the White House and federal government, WH staff finally received an email telling them what to do if they have symptoms.

Cavalier White House approach to COVID catches up to TrumpCrowds of people gathered shoulder to shoulder on the White House South Lawn. With ready access to testing and the best public health minds at his disposal, President Donald Trump should have been the American safest from COVID-19. Instead, he flouted his own government’s guidelines and helped create “Well well well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions” Oh no. They were the target of the virus on purpose. And Yahoi, turn your comments back on so people can respond on the website. You guys are losers thinking you can for censor the conservative voice.
