A Florida student whose classmates shook hands last Friday with Vice President Mike Pence has been quarantined after his mother came into contact with a coronavirus patient.
President Donald Trump appointed Pence to lead the U.S. government’s response to the coronavirus outbreak, but the vice president was in Florida on Friday mainly for campaign fundraisers. The visit to Sarasota Military Academy didn’t appear on his public schedule.
