Inside the Trump campaigns headquarters this week, a team of cleaners scrubbed down surfaces and disinfected equipment a recognition that coronavirus has found its way into the heart of the presidents reelection bid, regardless of Donald Trumps public dismissals of recent risk.
The campaigns headquarters located on the 14th floor of an Arlington, Va., office building that shares space with multiple businesses is normally packed with dozens of staffers, often sitting in close proximity to conduct phone calls and other urgent campaign business, said three people with knowledge of its operations.
But the office was shut down for its first deep cleaning in weeks after a senior campaign official tested positive for the virus. The decision to conduct the cleaning came after two months of flouting the Trump administrations own public health guidance: There are no face coverings or temporary barriers between desks at headquarters, and leaders have limited efforts to implement social distancing.
The campaigns lack of safety protections were visible during Vice President Mike Pences visit to the office last month, during which he posed for a photo with more than 70 campaign staff, closely packed together and without wearing face coverings an image that infuriated local officials, who called on Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam to take action and enforce state public health orders on universal masking indoors and social distancing. But Northam, a Democrat, ultimately declined to do so.
