White House press secretary Jen Psaki tests positive for COVID
White House press secretary Jen Psaki revealed Sunday evening that she tested positive for COVID-19 and has been experiencing mild symptoms.
Psaki said she chose not to travel with President Joe Biden to the G-20 summit after members of her household tested positive for the virus last week.
Psaki said she quarantined and tested negative for COVID-19 on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, but on Sunday she tested positive.
"Thanks to the vaccine, I have only experienced mild symptoms which has enabled me to continue working from home," Psaki said in a statement.
"I will plan to return to work in person at the conclusion of the ten day quarantine following a negative rapid test, which is an additional White House requirement, beyond CDC guidance, taken out of an abundance of caution."
Psaki said that she last saw the president in person on Tuesday, "when we sat outside more than six-feet apart, and wore masks."
