Tata was only on the job for ten days before getting infected. The virus reportedly infected the Pentagon following visits from Lithuanian Defense Minister Raimundas Karoblis. He also tested positive for the Coronavirus.
“Minister Karoblis visited the Pentagon on Nov. 13, 2020, where he met with multiple senior leaders, including Acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller,” Pentagon rep Jonathan Rath Hoffman said in a Thursday statement. “On that day he also met with the Secretaries of the Army and Air Force, and Anthony Tata, Performing the Duties of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. On Monday, Nov. 16, the minister met with the Secretary of the Navy. All have been tested since their meetings. As a result of the embassy notification, Mr. Tata was tested today and has tested positive for COVID-19 on two successive tests. He will isolate at home for the next 14 days in accordance with Center for Disease Control protocols.”
Tata will quarantine at home.
