White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham also is working from home out of an "abundance of caution," a person familiar told ABC News, after she also met with the Brazilian delegation. Grisham said she's "feeling great and looking forward to returning to the White House." It's not clear if she's been tested for the virus.
