For example, Sky News stated in a recent article:
"The pair had been seen without masks at the Rose Garden event last Saturday where Mr Trump (sic) announced he would be nominating Amy Coney Barrett as his Supreme Court pick.
Several other attendees at the event - former presidential adviser Kellyanne Conway, Senator Mike Lee, Senator Thom Tillis, Notre Dame University president John Jenkins, and an unnamed journalist - have also tested positive.
Hundreds of people were there, and some were seen hugging one another, after the president announced his nomination."
