President Donald Trump's campaign manager, Brad Parscale, is "working from home" after Secret Service agents who attended last week's campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, tested positive for the coronavirus.
After saying that Parscale took a commercial flight to his home in Florida after the event, Murtaugh told the publication that all Trump staff who flew home from Tulsa had already tested negative.
Murtaugh said the isolation measures were a precaution.
Earlier in the week, CNN reported that two Secret Service agents who attended the rally had tested positive, and dozens of other agents had been ordered to self-quarantine.
The presence of officials carrying the disease at the rally has prompted an overhaul of screening measures, with agents now to be tested between 24 and 48 hours before any presidential trips, according to the report.
Officials who come into personal contact with the president are tested daily for the illness.
Trump had faced criticism for pressing ahead with the rally last Saturday despite increasing coronavirus infection rates in Oklahoma.
Parscale is under pressure following the disastrous event that had been billed as Trump's big comeback. There were thousands of empty seats in the venue, which the campaign adviser had boasted would be packed.
