White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says she tested positive for COVID-19 after returning from a trip to Europe with President Joe Biden.
Jean-Pierre was with the president after Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced that she tested positive for the coronavirus last week.
“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,” she said. “I am sharing the news of my positive test today out of an abundance of transparency.”
Jean-Pierre said that her symptoms remained mild and that she will work from home in alignment with White House COVID-19 protocols.
“Thanks to being fully vaccinated and boosted, I have only experienced mild symptoms,” Jean-Pierre said in a statement. “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.”
