White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Tests Positive For COVID-19 After Returning From Europe Trip
White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tested positive for COVID-19 after returning from President Biden’s trip to Europe.
A statement from Jean-Pierre released Sunday night by the White House says that she is not considered a close contact to President Biden.
“I last saw the President during a socially distanced meeting yesterday, and the President is not considered a close contact as defined by CDC guidance. I am sharing the news of my positive test today out of an abundance of transparency,” Jean-Pierre said.
“Thanks to being fully vaccinated and boosted, I have only experienced mild symptoms. In alignment with White House COVID-19 protocols, I will work from home and plan to return to work in person at the conclusion of a five-day isolation period and a negative test,” Jean-Pierre said.
