South Dakota Gov. Noem accompanied President Trump aboard Air Force One despite having had close contact with Trump’s son’s girlfriend, who tested positive for the coronavirus.
Noem doesn't plan anything similar or to get tested again for the virus, Seidel said. She cast Noem's decision to fly on Air Force One as a demonstration of how to live with the virus. Seidel pointed to comments from the World Health Organization that the spread of the virus is “rare” from asymptomatic people.
“The president is tested constantly, has tested negative, and those around him are tested as well,” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said. Ian Fury, a spokesperson for Noem, said Monday on Twitter that the governor had consulted with the White House doctor before she boarded Air Force One and was told it would be OK to fly.
