According to the DHS document, along with the 11 active cases there are 23 members of the Secret Service who have recovered from COVID-19 and an additional 60 employees who are self-quarantining. No details have been provided about which members of the Secret Service are infected or if any have recently been on detail with the president or vice president.

...the Secret Service has offices all over the country. There’s one here in the Federal Building in Seattle. There’s absolutely zero reason to believe that those agents who are infected or quarantined even work in the D.C. area, let alone on presidential protection detail.

I was imagining a circle of coughing agents with a Grotesque Orange Pustule cowering in the center, covered in slime and yelling, "I'm melting! What a hoax! What a hoax!"
