In the wake of Trump's COVID-19 diagnosis, the White House has yet to mobilize a CDC tracing team to contact hundreds of people who were in the president's company
It is not known precisely how or when Trump contracted the virus. Adviser Hope Hicks tested positive for the disease Wednesday and had traveled with the president to his debate with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in Cleveland, Ohio, on Tuesday.
Officials in states where Trump has held events recently told the Post that they had not been contacted by the White House about tracing the president's contacts and were mainly acting independently to find them. At the event, few observed social distancing measures or wore masks, and some guests hugged as they exchanged greetings, shaking hands, and standing close to one another.
