White House spokeswoman tests positive for covid-19 on the eve of Biden's trip to Europe
White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki speaks to the press on March 15, 2022, in Washington.
Washington (AFP) - White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki announced Tuesday on her Twitter account that she had tested positive for covid-19, specifying that United States President Joe Biden had given negative.
"Yesterday I had two meetings respecting the distance with the president and it is not considered a case of contact," he said, on the eve of Biden's departure to Europe for NATO and European Union meetings on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in addition to a visit to Poland.
Psaki said she was vaccinated against covid-19 and that she only had "mild symptoms" for which she would undergo a five-day self-isolation period.
The spokeswoman had already been infected with covid-19 last October, which then prevented her from traveling with Biden to the G20 summit in Rome.
Psaki's announcement comes as covid-19 cases are multiplying again, even in the entourage of the US president. The White House said on March 15 that Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, had been infected even though his wife had tested negative for the virus.
