Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson has tested positive for the coronavirus, NBC News reported Monday.
The news came less than a week after it was revealed that President Donald Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows had also tested positive for Covid-19.
The White House hosted an in-person, indoors party on election night last Tuesday. Meadows had attended the event, and Carson was also there, according to ABC News and other outlets.
Carson, a retired neurosurgeon and former presidential candidate, is a member of the White House coronavirus task force.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment.
