Harris tests negative for Covid-19 days after her husband tested positive

This is good news




Vice President Kamala Harris has tested negative again for Covid-19 after Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff tested positive earlier this week.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed on Friday that Harris tested negative earlier in the day.

Emhoff tested positive for Covid-19 on Tuesday, marking the first known case of Covid-19 among the first or second families since President Joe Biden and Harris took office in January 2021. Harris has tested negative on Tuesday after her husband's positive result.

Harris was set to participate in an Equal Pay Day event at the White House Tuesday evening that began just as Emhoff's test results were released. In a potential sign of how last minute the vice president was pulled out of the event, there was an empty chair set for her on stage. But during his remarks, the President confirmed Harris decided not to attend the event "out of an abundance of caution."

I was in the crowd at last week's DNC meeting. I also contracted COVID.

I know of one other person at the DNC meeting who contracted COVID.
