Three members of the White House coronavirus task force will self-quarantine, according to NBC News. The self-quarantine comes after possible exposure to those confirmed to have COVID-19.

Dr. Stephan Hahn, head of the Food and Drug Administration has already gone into quarantine while Dr. Robert Redfield, Director of the Centers of the Disease Control, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious diseases are among those who will self-quarantine for 14 days.

Dr. Fauci will work on a “modified” quarantine for two weeks after coming in “low-risk” to the virus. He’s expected to work mostly at home, but still testify in front of the Senate on May 12.

“Dr. Fauci has tested negative for COVID-19, and he will continue to be tested regularly," a NIAID spokeswoman shared. "He is actively monitoring his temperature and other health indicators."

She added that Fauci was "considered to be at relatively low risk based on the degree of his exposure," but he was "taking appropriate precautions to mitigate risk to any of his personal contacts while still allowing him to carry out his responsibilities in this public health crisis.”
