This comes on the eve of President Joe Biden’s trip overseas.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said she has tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, on the eve of President Joe Biden’s trip overseas.
Psaki said she was in meetings with Biden on Monday but that he tested negative Tuesday on a PCR test.
“I had two socially-distanced meetings with the President yesterday, and the President is not considered a close contact as defined by CDC guidance,” Psaki said in a statement.
Psaki said she has mild symptoms and she’ll “work from home and plan to return to work in person at the conclusion of a five-day isolation period and a negative test.”
This is the second time Psaki has tested positive for COVID-19. She first tested positive on Oct. 31, 2021.
