Fox Radio News (WBAP/KLIF) – The Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson became one of the latest Trump administration officials to test positive for coronavirus Monday.

The Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar reacts to Secretary Carson’s diagnosis and updates his health status on “America’s Newsroom.”

Carson attended the election night party where White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and nearly every other attendee was not wearing a mask.

Meadows and four others in Trump’s orbit subsequently tested positive last week.
Carson was also spotted maskless at a Trump campaign rally in Waterford Township, Michigan on October 30.

President Trump tested positive for COVID-19 in October but has recovered … one of his valet drivers and Vice President Mike Pence’s Press Secretary Katie Miller also tested positive back in May.

Carson’s diagnosis was first reported by ABC News.
