JAKARTA - Deputy of the White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who was traveling with United States President Joe Biden's entourage to Europe, announced that she had tested positive for COVID-19 after testing last Sunday.
"This afternoon, after returning from the President's trip to Europe, I took a PCR test. The test came back positive," she said in a statement from the White House.
"I last saw the President during a social distancing meeting yesterday, and the President is not considered close contact as defined by the CDC (US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) guidelines," she said.
Jean-Pierre said he had been vaccinated, had only mild symptoms, and in accordance with White House protocol, he would return to work immediately after a five-day isolation period and a negative test.
Meanwhile, it did not say when Biden's last negative test was carried out. Last week, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki first tested positive for the coronavirus, so she was unable to travel to Europe.
