当地时间24日,据美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)报道,美国副总统办公室公布了一份声明称,美国副总统彭斯办公室主任马克·肖特新冠检测呈阳性,这是本周内被检测出呈阳性的彭斯的第二个高级助手。

Marc Short, chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence, has been diagnosed with COVID-19, the Vice President's office announced in a statement, marking the second top Pence aide to test positive this week.

彭斯的新闻秘书德文·奥马利在声明里表示,肖特已经开始隔离。奥马利在声明中还表示:副总统彭斯和妻子新冠病毒检测目前均为阴性,健康状况良好。

"Vice President Pence and Mrs. Pence both tested negative for COVID-19 today, and remain in good health."

就在肖特被确认呈阳性之前,CNN援引了知情人士的消息称,在本周早些时候,彭斯的另一个高级顾问奥布斯特新冠病毒检测结果也为阳性,但是奥布斯特并不是政府的雇员。

据美国广播公司报道,在过去几天里,彭斯办公室至少还有另一名职员新冠病毒检测呈阳性,好几人正在接受隔离。

ABC News has also learned at least one additional staffer in the vice president's office has tested positive in the last few days and several staffers are now quarantining.
