Six members of the Trump campaign’s advance team that traveled to Tulsa, Okla., ahead of the president’s rally there Saturday night have tested positive for the coronavirus.
The campaign said that none of the staffers who tested positive or anyone who’s been in immediate contact with them will be at the rally Saturday, and there will still be health checks for attendees at the BOK Center.
“Per safety protocols, campaign staff are tested for COVID-19 before events. Six members of the advance team tested positive out of hundreds of tests performed, and quarantine procedures were immediately implemented. No COVID-positive staffers or anyone in immediate contact will be at today’s rally or near attendees and elected officials,” said Tim Murtaugh, the Trump campaign’s communications director.
“As previously announced, all rally attendees are given temperature checks before going through security, at which point they are given wristbands, facemasks and hand sanitizer.”

As an old advance man, I can tell you there was no way this wasn’t going to happen. There are dozens of people responsible for moving the president – staff, security, military. They all stay in the same hotel, work in the same staff offices, attend the same meetings. #Tulsa https://t.co/nmIVMnrRII

Well, this sort of gives away the game — the White House has probably been keeping a number of illnesses involving the staff and possibly the president and vice president, secret. cc: @PhilippeReines @TheRickWilson https://t.co/zo0IxpyboC

.@realDonaldTrump, from the looks of it, @parscale spent about 1.5 Ferraris on a stage set-up that won’t get used. https://t.co/ghFxbqH7wi

Secret Service has moved crowd back from the overflow stage so it can be broken down. pic.twitter.com/iIxXfnpOPn
