This is the second time in recent weeks that Secret Service agents preparing for a White House or Trump campaign event outside Washington have contracted the virus. At least three Secret Service personnel working on the advance team for President Trump’s Tulsa rally on June 20 tested positive for the coronavirus. “As a matter of practice, the Secret Service does not comment on the means and methods used to carry out our protective operations. Two Secret Service personnel — an advance agent and an officer in charge of screening rally attendees — also tested positive that day. Dozens of Secret Service agents on the Tulsa trip were instructed to self-quarantine at home for two weeks when they returned from Tulsa.
