.
The White House Correspondents Association on Monday said a reporter who was at the White House multiple times over the last two weeks is suspected to have coronavirus, according to an email from the organization.
The reporter was at the White House on March 9, 11, 16 and 18, and the WHCA is encouraging all journalists present at the White House during those days to "review public health guidance, consult their medical professionals and take the appropriate next steps."
The WHCA has contacted the individual's news organization and the office of the White House physician.
"We ask again that all members who can stay home or work remotely please do so. Please do not come to the White House if you do not have a workspace or an assigned seat on that day. And please DO NOT come into the White House if you are feeling at all ill," the statement said.
A number of news organizations have confirmed that some of their employees contracted the virus. And the WHCA has issued new protocol for White House journalists, cutting the number of available press room seats in half leaving a half-empty briefing room as President Donald Trump addresses the nation about the pandemic.

I wonder if it is that OAN Trump sycophant.

I have no idea who the reporter from OANN is, but a conspiracy theory website should have NEVER had a seat at the table in the briefing room.
