President Joe Biden tested negative for COVID-19 on March 28 after a deputy press secretary who traveled with him to Europe tested positive.
The White House said Biden, who is in Washington, tested negative as part of his regular testing cadence.
Karine Jean-Pierre, the press secretary, announced Sunday that she tested positive on a polymerase chain reaction test after returning from Europe.
Jean-Pierre said she last saw Biden during “a socially distanced meeting” on Saturday and thus Biden was not considered a close contact, per guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Jeane-Pierre, who has received three COVID-19 vaccine doses, said she was experiencing mild symptoms and planned to isolate for five days as long as she tested negative following the isolation time period.
