NEW: Critical White House unit that is getting, shipping and distributing goods for coronavirus fight is ordered to begin working from home after a 'partner' of the group tested positive for COVID-19, according to email that FEMA officials sent to staff.
It was not immediately clear what effect the new teleworking situation would have on the work of the task force, which has been highly visible thanks to Polowczyk's appearances at daily White House briefings.
Before Monday night's email, the task force members were working together in the conference center war room rather than from separate locations. In addition, the spokesperson said,"all areas visited by Task Force members were disinfected prior to their visits" and that"FEMA will facilitate cleaning to ensure that the potentially affected workspace meets federal health and safety standards."
