WH Press Secretary Jen Psaki Tests Positive For COVID-19

Press Secretary Jen Psaki And Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Hold Briefing At White House

On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that she had tested positive for COVID-19, and that she will no longer be joining President Biden in his upcoming trip to Europe to meet with U.S. allies to address Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

“Today, in preparation for travel to Europe, I took a PCR test this morning. That test came back positive, which means I will be adhering to CDC guidance and no longer be traveling on the President’s trip to Europe,” Psaki said in a statement. “I had two socially-distanced meetings with the President yesterday, and the President is not considered a close contact as defined by CDC guidance. I am sharing the news of my positive test today out of an abundance of transparency.”

“The President tested negative today via PCR test,” the statement added. “Thanks to the vaccine, I have only experienced mild symptoms. 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.”

As noted by Townhall’s Katie Pavlich, this “is the second time in five months she has tested positive.”
