    'Back at work today after three NEGATIVE COVID tests. Thank you to all my amazing doctors and everyone who reached out with support. I couldn’t have done it without my amazing husband who took great care of his pregnant wife. #TransitionToGreatness,' Miller tweeted Tuesday morning.

    Miller, who serves as spokesperson for the White House Coronavirus Task Force, tested positive for the coronaviruson May 8th and Thursday marks her first day back at the White House complex.

    She married Stephen Miller, a senior adviser to President Trump known for his hard line views on immigration, on February 16, 2020 at the Trump International Hotel in Washington D.C. President Trump, Vice President Pence and may members of the administration attended.

    Miller's positive result for the coronavirus test sent shock waves through the Trump administration. Her result came shortly after a Navy valet who served meals to the president tested positive for the disease.

    While the valet was close to the president, Miller was a prominent figure with senior staff and a regular feature in the hallways of the West Wing. She would often walk around to talk to people, including stopping in the White House press room to check in with reporters.

    She had regular contact with Trump, Pence, and senior members of the administration. 

    After her and the valet tested positive, the White House instituted new protocols for preventing the virus from reaching the president. Staff, Secret Service agents and members of the military were seen wearing masks. Additionally, senior staff began to get tested for the disease on a daily basis.

  • Trump also began a two week regimen of the anti-malaria hydroxychloroquine as a counter measure to possible exposure. The president claims the drug can help fight off the coronavirus but the FDA has issued a warning that only patients in the hospital with the virus should take the drug.

    Pence tested negative despite his spokesperson diagnosis. He was seen wearing a mask around the White House in the aftermath. Additionally he and President Trump stayed apart for several days to ensure Pence wasn't infected.   

    Trump admitted two weeks he was missing his vice president.

    'I haven't seen Mike Pence and I miss him,' Trump said. 'We said for a little while we’ll stay apart because you don’t know what happens with this very crazy and horrible disease.' 

    Miller also was a constant presence in the White House press room when President Trump, the vice president and members of the coronavirus task force - including Dr. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx - briefed the media on the administration's work combating the disease. 

    Fauci and Birx began wearing masks on a regular basis to White House briefings but both said they would not isolate at home as they were essential employees.
