The pandemic has killed more the 210,000 people in the United States, more than any other country.
White House Deputy Press Secretary Brian Morgenstern told CNN late on Tuesday that there were no new COVID-19 cases in the White House beside Miller.
Trump said on Friday that he and first lady Melania Trump had tested positive for the coronavirus.
Others announcing they had tested positive in recent days include close Trump adviser Hope Hicks; White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany; Trump's campaign manager Bill Stepien; and Republican Senators Mike Lee, Thom Tillis and Ron Johnson.
Miller's wife, Katie Miller, who is a spokeswoman for Vice President Mike Pence, tested positive for the virus in May.
