They also said that there are no particular instructions or precautions mentioned in the invitations about the coronavirus, it seemed like the same as any other year’s holiday party’s invitation card.
Not only that, Melania Trump, the first lady has finalized the guest list last week for the parties with family, friends, and staff that are going to happen in mid-December over multiple evenings. These holiday parties are one of the few examples where the negligence of the administrations led to several outbreaks reported in the last few months.
