The NYTimes has a tracker going:

They have not yet added Kellyanne. For those without a subscription who may not be able to see it, they have the following people as confirmed positives:
Trump
Melania
Hope Hicks
Mike Lee - R, Utah Senator
Ronna McDaniel — RNC Chairwoman
John Jenkins — President of Notre Dame (relevant here b/c he was at the WH)
Thom Tillis — R, NC Senator
Kellyanne has confirmed her positive, though this is not reflected on the NYTimes yet
Tested negative:
Karen Pence
Mike Pence
Ivanka
Jared
ACB
Joe Biden
Jill Biden
Mark Meadows
Among the unknowns are:
David Perdue — R, Senator GA
Ben Carson
Kelly Loeffler — R, Senator GA
Josh Hawley — R, Senator Missouri
Pat Cipollone — WH Counsel
Ben Sasse — R, Senator, Nebraska
Chris Christie
Tiffany Trump
Kayleigh McEnany
Rob Portman — R, Senator, Ohio
Mike Turner — Rep, Ohio
Peter Navarro — Trade advisor
Brett Giroir — Asst health secretary
Bill Stepien — Trump campaign manager
Robert O’Brien — NSA
Stephen Miller
Chris Wallace
Donald Trump, Jr.
The above list reflects those who attended recent events at the WH or around POTUS. I do not know if they are getting tested; please reply if you know. Clearly one of the problems here is the number of senators already impacted or potentially impacted. Two positives already and potentially as many as five more, excluding whomever they may have been in contact with in recent days.
