White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tested positive for COVID-19, it announced on Tuesday. Psaki said in a statement that he had two “socially separated” meetings with President Biden on Monday and said he did not consider close contact as defined by the CDC.
Psaki said a PCR test he did Tuesday morning tested positive. He said he had taken the test as part of preparations for Mr Biden’s next trip to Europe, which he would no longer join.
Mr Biden tested negative on Tuesday for a PCR test, he said.
Psaki, who is vaccinated, said she is only experiencing “mild symptoms” and will work from home until she is allowed to return in person according to CDC guidelines.
The positive test comes about five months after Psaki last positive test for the virus.
