House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she has been tested for coronavirus this morning and is awaiting results.
In an interview on MSNBC, Pelosi said she spoke with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin earlier this morning who informed her he tested negative. The two met in person earlier this week to discuss stimulus legislation, after Mnuchin met with President Trump.
Asked about Trump’s diagnosis Pelosi said, “we all receive that news with great sadness.”
“This is tragic. It’s very sad,” she said. But she added that going to events and being in crowds unmasked “was sort of a brazen invitation for something like this to happen." She continued: “It’s sad that it did. But nonetheless, hopefully that it will be a transition to a saner approach to what this virus is all about."
She said she hasn't been contacted by White House about the line of succession.
“Let us just all pray for the President’s health,” Pelosi said. "Thank God the Vice President has tested negatively, and the Second Lady as well.”
Pelosi indicated she hopes this moment will spur people to be more serious about wearing masks, social distancing, and other measures to stop the spread of the virus.
"I do think it is really important for people to know that every infection is a sad one,” Pelosi said of the Americans who have contracted the virus.
The number of deaths, she said, is “a tragedy beyond comprehension.”

As employees across the White House complex processed the news that President Trump, the first lady, and one of the President’s top aides tested positive for Covid-19, different offices were receiving different instructions on how to proceed.
One White House official said White House staff were instructed to “max telework."
Vice President Mike Pence’s team have reinstated teleworking as the White House medical team does testing and tracing, the official says. If they don’t require a classified setting to do their work, they can stay home, the guidance said.
But across the street from the West Wing, many national security officials were still awaiting any guidance.
National Security Council staff, some of whom spend time in the West Wing and work in close proximity with the President and his inner circle, had not received any guidance or recommendations on whether or not to get tested or self-quarantine as of 9 a.m. ET Friday, according to one administration official.
Staff learned of the diagnosis through tweets and the media, but have received no internal notices about it, even from the public health standpoint.
“We’re all sitting around wondering, ‘ok, now what?’” the official told CNN.
