White House COVID-19 exposed staff met with Navajo Council, dedicated Navajo school where there was

While the coronavirus spread through the White House, a White House delegation met with the Navajo Nation government and attended a dedication of the Little Singer School at Birdsprings on the Navajo Nation, where there is uncontrolled community spread of COVID-19.

After the Trump family was infected with COVID-19, the coronavirus spread through the White House. During the days before the White House staff came to the Navajo Nation, five of Vice President Pence's staff were infected on Oct. 24, CNBC reported.

Instead of observing quarantine for exposure, the White House staff came to the Navajo Nation Council on Tuesday, Oct. 27. There was "uncontrolled spread" of coronavirus in 29 Navajo communities, as revealed in a statement today.

Today, in a delayed press release, the Navajo President's Office revealed uncontrolled spread in Navajo communities from Oct. 16 -- 29, including Birdsprings, located in Arizona in the southwest corner of the Navajo Nation. The media did not receive the statement until today, Nov. 4, after the election.

The White House staff and Navajo Nation officials were at Birdsprings community for the dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Little Singer Community School completed earlier this year.

From the White House, Assistant to President Trump Jennie Lichter was among those who spoke at the school dedication on Oct. 28, the Navajo Nation Council said in a press statement.

Staff Member: I've tested positive for COVID!

Staff Manager: Take some time off. Head out to the desert for some R and R. But while you're there stop in at the Little Singer Community school and participate in a dedication ceremony.
