White House press secretary Jen Psaki revealed on Sunday that she tested positive for COVID-19, despite being fully vaccinated. Psaki becomes the highest-ranking White House official to have publicly revealed to be infected with COVID-19 in the Biden administration.
Psaki issued a statement about her COVID-19 infection, and admitted that she had interacted with President Joe Biden within the past week.
“On Wednesday, in coordination with senior leadership at the White House and the medical team, I made the decision not to travel on the foreign trip with the President due to a family emergency, which was members of my household testing positive for COVID-19,” Psaki said in a statement.
