CNN White House reporter Kaitlan Collins has long been reporting on who and who has not been wearing a mask in the Trump White House during the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic. Just with her tweets, Collins has been reporting about masks and has made it a point to ask about them.

Pence says he didn’t wear a mask because he’s tested on a regular basis, as is his staff. “Since I don't have the coronavirus, I thought it'd be a good opportunity for me to be here, to speak to these researchers, these incredible healthcare personnel” to say thanks.

Collins's mask beat ran into a bump after she was caught on camera removing her own mask right after the White House press briefing on Friday had ended. The CDC recommends wearing a mask or face covering when you are unable to not be six feet away from people. This helps prevents COVID-19 from spreading to others, especially if you are an asymptomatic carrier.
