White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced Sunday she has tested positive for COVID-19.
Last week, President Biden traveled to Europe for a meeting with Pope Francis, the G20 summit, and the COP26 climate talks. In a statement, Psaki said she remained in the United States because members of her household tested positive for COVID-19, and after testing negative herself four days in a row, she had a positive result on Sunday.
