• Pence, wife test negative; VP will resume campaigning

Vice President Mike Pence and his wife, Karen, have tested negative again for the coronavirus days after President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were diagnosed with COVID- 19.

A Pence spokesperson confirmed Sunday’s negative tests.

Despite the president’s hospitalization, Mr. Pence is expected to resume regular campaigning this week with no changes to protocols meant to keep him from getting infected.

Mr. Pence is set to debate Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris on Wednesday night in Salt Lake City.

“We’re in a campaign. We have a month to go. We see Joe Biden and Kamala Harris out there campaigning. Certainly they’re not asking for a remote debate,” Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller said. “Vice President Pence is following the debate, for the vice presidential candidates, on Wednesday. He will be hitting the trail ... and he’s going to have a very full aggressive schedule, as will the first family. ...

“[ We have] no concerns at all.”

There were still questions about Mr. Pence’s health, given his proximity to Mr. Trump and others around him who have contracted COVID- 19 and the length of time the virus takes to incubate. Mr. Pence, a designated “essential worker,” is not planning to quarantine. In a memo released Friday, his physician, Dr. Jesse Schonau, said Mr. Pence does not need to do so because he was not considered a close contact with Mr. Trump or anyone else who has tested positive.

“Vice President Mike Pence remains in good health and is free to go about his normal activities,” Dr. Schonau said in the statement.

But the list of those who have tested positive continues to grow.

Aside from the president and first lady, those testing positive includes: senior counselor to the president Hope Hicks, whose positive test was the first in the White House inner circle; Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien; Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel; former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie; former White House counselor Kellyanne Conway; the Rev. John Jenkins, the president of the University of Notre Dame; and at least three Republican lawmakers — Utah Sen. Mike Lee, North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis and Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson.

All but Mr. Stepien, Ms. McDaniel and Mr. Johnson attended the Sept. 26 White House event introducing Mr. Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett. That day, Mr. Trump gathered more than 150 people in the Rose Garden, where they mingled, hugged and shook hands — overwhelmingly without masks. There were also several indoor receptions, where Judge Barrett ( who has tested negative), her family, senators and others spent time in the close quarters of the White House, photographs show.
