At a time when there had been an uptick in cases among White House personnel, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris had tested positive for COVID-19 in April 2022 despite not displaying any symptoms, according to a spokesman. As CNN had reported, her press secretary at the time, Kirsten Allen, President Joe Biden, and First Lady Jill Biden had not been in regular communication with Harris due to their travel patterns.
As soon as her test came back positive, Harris sequestered herself and made plans to return to the White House only after testing negative. Notifying about her condition Harris had tweeted, « Today I tested positive for COVID-19. I have no symptoms, and I will continue to isolate and follow CDC guidelines. I’m grateful to be both vaccinated and boosted. »
In a previous statement, the press secretary stated that both fast and PCR tests for COVID-19 revealed Harris’ positive status. According to Allen, Harris had « secluded herself and had continued to work from the vice president’s residence. » Paxlovid, an antiviral coronavirus medication, was being used by Harris.
