Dozens of Secret Service agents have been asked to quarantine as a safety precaution following President Trump’s campaign rally in Tulsa, Okla., last week, according to multiple reports.
A law enforcement official told CNN that the number of agents in quarantine is in the “low” number of dozens. The move was first reported by the Washington Post.
Ahead of the event, the president’s campaign confirmed that six members of its advance team tested positive for COVID-19 after traveling to Tulsa. Two other staffers tested positive after the event.
Two of the six initial staffers included two Secret Service employees, according to The Washington Post.
One source told CNN that agents from Dallas and Houston who worked the campaign rally were warned in advance that they would have to quarantine after returning home.
The Secret Service field office in Tulsa arranged for a testing session at a hospital to determine if area agents and some local officials were infected with COVID-19, the Washington Post reported.

But the show must go on because…it’s all about Trump and getting him re-elected. Who cares how many people become ill and maybe die?
