US media: Pompeo’s wife was infected with the new crown virus, causing Pompeo to be quarantined

　　Overseas Network, December 25. According to Bloomberg, Capitol Hill and many other U.S. media citing sources, Susan Pompeo, wife of U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, carried out the new crown virus earlier this month. The test result was positive, which directly led Mike Pompeo to quarantine in accordance with the recommendations of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

　　The source, who asked not to be named, told Bloomberg that Susan Pompeo was diagnosed with new crown pneumonia before Mike Pompeo announced on December 16 that he would begin quarantine due to contact with people infected with the new crown virus.

At that time, the U.S. State Department stated that he himself "tested negative" but did not specify who was infected with the new coronavirus.

　　According to Mike Pompeo’s public itinerary, he also held a party the day before the quarantine and sent invitations to more than 900 people, but fewer than 70 people attended.

Although the U.S. State Department claims to wear a mask when attending gatherings and also implement the “social distancing” guidelines, the Washington Post quoted two U.S. officials as reporting that people at the gathering walked back and forth between the tables and chatted with each other. There is no social distancing, and almost no one wears a mask.

　　The Washington Post pointed out that the U.S. Department of State, despite repeated warnings from health officials, insisted on holding banquets, which surprised many invitees.

The US media also reprimanded Pompeo in the program, in order to brush up on the sense of existence, regardless of the epidemic and the lives and health of others, worried that the party will become a "super spreader" incident.

　　According to the ABC report, two US State Department officials revealed that Pompeo appeared in the office on the 21st local time.

It is not clear how often Pompeo will be tested for the new coronavirus.

US media said that since last week, the US State Department has refused to respond to related issues.
