Very smart that the White House is taking these precautions, but seriously why is China sending over journalists with a fever anyway?
The White House is taking new precautions to prevent the virus from spreading to President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, according to a statement from Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere.
“Out of an abundance of caution, temperature checks are now being performed on any individuals who are in close contact with the President and Vice President,” Deere said.
The temperature checks are also being given to members of the press. A member of the White House health team took the temperatures of reporters gathered for a briefing with Pence on Saturday, and one member of the press was turned away because his temperature was too high.[CNBC [4]]
