The United States (US) Chief of Staff, including its Chairman, General Mark Milley, was ordered to undergo quarantine after being exposed to COVID-19.
The directive was issued after the Coast Guard announced its deputy commander, Admiral Charles Ray, confirmed positive for COVID-19 and quarantined it at home.
Ray had earlier attended meetings with other senior military leaders including the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon last week.
"With this in mind, all possible close contacts in last week's meeting were quarantined and tested this morning," Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement.
Currently, there is no close contact (Ray) at the Pentagon showing symptoms and we do not record any positive cases involving other military leaders at the Pentagon," he said.
Meanwhile, US Joint Vice-Chairman John Hyten and a panel of senior U.S. military officers who advised the president and other civilian leaders on military issues were also quarantined.
The developments at the Pentagon are in line with the ever-increasing number of White House-related infections.
US President Donald Trump was confirmed positive for COVID-19 last week and was hospitalized for further treatment.
However, after three days in hospital, Trump returned to the White House last Monday.
