Pompeo’s wife tested positive for new crown
On December 25, Beijing time, according to reports by Bloomberg, the US Secretary of State Pompeo’s wife tested positive for new crown, causing Pompeo to be quarantined.
Because of close contact with people infected with the new crown virus, Pompeo announced that he was in isolation. And just before that, Pompeo’s wife Susan Pompeo tested positive for the new crown virus.
Pompeo’s new crown test results were negative. The U.S. State Department refused to disclose the identity of those infected by Pompeo, citing privacy reasons.
Bloomberg reported that Pompeo did not attend the party, and it is not clear whether Pompeo’s wife Susan Pompeo attended the party.
The party organized by Pompeo was also criticized for violating the policies of the US State Department. The US State Department stipulates that State Department staff should avoid participating in “untask-related activities” and encourage them to participate in online virtual gatherings.
Bloomberg pointed out that the US State Department did not specify how long Pompeo plans to isolate. According to the public schedule, he attended the State Council meeting and briefing on December 21.
Pompeo himself quickly responded to the incident on Twitter, criticizing Bloomberg’s report, calling it “obviously wrong.”
He said: “My wife and I did not attend any holiday parties in the State Department or the White House-your report is clearly wrong. This is not news, it is worse than gossip rumors-it is immoral and may be illegal. Please stay tuned.”
