Trish Scalia, the wife of Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia, has tested positive for the coronavirus , the Labor Department announced Tuesday night.

The agency said in a statement that doctors confirmed the positive result Tuesday afternoon. She was experiencing mild symptoms but doing well.

The labor secretary had tested negative and was experiencing no symptoms, according to the Labor Department.

The Secretary and Mrs. Scalia will follow the advice of health professionals for Trishs recovery and the health of those around them, the agency said. For the time being, the Secretary will work from home while continuing to carry out the mission of the Department and the Presidents agenda.

On Sept. 26, Eugene and Trish Scalia attended the Rose Garden ceremony in honor of Amy Coney Barrett that appears to be the source of a COVID-19 outbreak among White House insiders. Photos from the event show Trish Scalia seated in the second row between her husband and former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, who tested positive as well, though its not clear she contracted the virus at the event.

Other photos show the labor secretary, who is the son of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, mingling inside the White House without a mask. His mother, Maureen, was also in attendance.
