Business Insider: More than 130 Secret Service officers assigned to the White House and Pres. Trump's travels have recently tested positive for COVID-19 or are quarantining because they might have been exposed to the virus...sources said that the outbreak might be connected to the president's campaign stops before Election Day. Trump traveled to several states to hold rallies, where many people did not take measures to help curb virus transmission, such as wearing masks and social distancing.

"That does not bode well for White House security."
