US Vice President Mike Pence has been distancing himself from others after his press secretary tested positive for coronavirus. 

According to Devin O'Malley, the vice president's spokesman, Pence will continue to follow the advice of the White House Medical Unit. He further added, "the vice president is not in quarantine and has tested negative every single day and plans to be at the White House tomorrow."

Another official said that the Vice President's schedule will probably be on the lighter side for the next few days but he is not doing a full self-isolation.
