CNN: VP Kamala Harris Tests Positive for Covid-19

EXCERPT:

SAENZ: "Well, John, Vice President Kamala Harris has tested positive for Covid-19. A source familiar with that told our colleague Jasmine Wright. And then just a short while ago the press secretary for Vice President Harris also put out a statement that she tested positive for Covid-19 on a rapid and PCR test today. Now, it’s important to note that she has not been a close contact of President Biden, because she has actually been traveling for the past week. Vice President Harris had been spending some time in California. She flew back yesterday, and she had been slated to participate in a classified briefing receiving the president's daily brief with the president this morning at 10:15. But according to her office, she has not been a close contact of the president due to their travel schedules. Now, the Press Secretary Kirsten Allen, for Vice President Harris, says that Harris has exhibited no symptoms. She will isolate and continue to work from the vice president's residence and she will follow the CDC guidelines and the advice of her physicians, and she will return to the White House once she tests negative. But at this moment the vice president has tested positive for Covid-19. She is the highest ranking administration official within the Biden administration to do so. You’ll remember a few months ago her husband second gentleman Doug Emhoff had also tested positive for Covid-19, but now we have learned that Vice President Harris does have Covid-19."
