White House spokesperson Jen Psaki tested positive for Covid-19. She made it known herself in a note. Psaki, usually very present, these days does not accompany President Joe Biden on his trip abroad: she is also vaccinated and was the last time with President Biden last Tuesday. She has since undergone four tests, all negative, until today she tested positive. Jen Psaki adds that she has “mild symptoms”.
Psaki, who had canceled his presence on Biden’s trip to Europe at the last minute, is the highest-ranking employee in the administration to have been infected so far. In the note, very detailed, he states that he has not seen the president since Tuesday, when “we were seated outdoors more than a meter and a half away, both with masks”.
