Vice President Kamala Harris tested negative with a rapid COVID-19 test on Monday, clearing her to return to White House on Tuesday.
Harris is scheduled to return to work in person on Tuesday, Kirsten Allen, the vice president’s press secretary, wrote. Harris will wear a “well-fitting mask while around others” through the 10-day period after the positive test, Allen wrote.
Last week, Harris received Paxlovid, the antiviral treatment made by Pfizer. At that time, her office said she didn’t have symptoms and would isolate at home. Harris, 57, received her second booster shot on April 1, three days after federal regulators authorized the additional shot for people over 50. Second gentleman Doug Emhoff tested positive for the virus in mid-March. He had received his first booster shot and had mild symptoms.
After Harris tested positive last week, Biden administration officials said they didn’t consider her to be a close contact of Biden, thereported, which would mean 15 minutes of exposure within 6 feet of the infected person in a 24-hour period. “She has not been a close contact to the President or First Lady due to their respective recent travel schedules,” Allen wroteAdministration officials follow
