A senior cabinet member in Australia's government who said Friday he is infected with the new coronavirus was pictured last week standing next to Ivanka Trump, Attorney General William Barr and other White House officials.

Peter Dutton, who is Australia's minister for home affairs, released a statement saying he has been diagnosed with the virus – COVID-19 – and admitted to the hospital, where he is in isolation.

Dutton was in Washington for meetings connected to the so-called Five Eyes security pact, an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Britain and the U.S. White House adviser Kellyanne Conway also appears in the March 6 photo.

The White House said Friday afternoon that Ivanka Trump has no symptoms. “The White House is aware that Mr. Dutton tested positive for COVID-19," administration press aide Judd Deere said in a statement provided to USA TODAY. "He was asymptomatic during the interaction. Exposures from the case were assessed and the White House Medical Unit confirmed, in accordance with CDC guidance, that Ivanka is exhibiting no symptoms and does not need to self-quarantine. She worked from home today out of an abundance of caution until guidance was given.”

The Justice Department said Friday that Barr is "feeling great and not showing any symptoms." He is, however, staying at home Friday. "The CDC is not recommending he be tested at this point," the Justice Department said.

A tweet from Conway Friday afternoon echoed the White House statement regarding Ivanka Trump. "Exposures from the case were assessed and the WHMU confirmed, in accordance with CDC guidance, that I exhibited no symptoms & need not self-quarantine," the presidential adviser posted online

It is not immediately clear where in Washington the photo was taken or if Dutton visited the White House. A growing number of lawmakers, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., are in self-quarantine as a result of having had contact with someone who has been diagnosed with the virus. Graham had contact with Dutton, his office said.

Australia has more than 120 cases of COVID-19. Among them: The actor Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson. The Hollywood couple confirmed on Wednesday that they are in isolation in the country after testing positive for the disease. "We are taking it one-day-at-a-time," Hanks said in a tweet. He posted a picture of them on Thursday night.

Earlier, Brazil confirmed that a senior adviser to President Jair Bolsonaro who tested positive for the coronavirus was among a group of officials who met with President Donald Trump on March 7. Fabio Wajngarten is Bolsonaro's communications secretary.

He posted a photo of himself standing next to the U.S. president at Trump's Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida on Saturday. Trump has said he "isn't concerned" about getting tested but may soon get tested anyway.

Bolsonaro tested negative for the virus, according to his official Facebook page.

But Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has tested positive for coronavirus, according to the Miami Herald, four days after the mayor attended a Miami event with Wajngarten.
