WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House is putting in place new measures to protect President Donald Trump and his staff during the coronavirus outbreak. Starting Monday, the White House will take the temperature of anyone entering the complex, from visitors to members of the press corps. The new measures expand on screenings the White House began on Saturday for anyone who will get close to Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. Members of the press corps are also taking steps, independent of the White House, to limit their own exposure to the coronavirus.
