White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has announced that she has tested positive for COVID and won’t be on Biden’s Europe trip.
Psaki said in a statement provided to PoliticusUSA by the White House:
Today, in preparation for travel to Europe, I took a PCR test this morning. That test came back positive, which means I will be adhering to CDC guidance and no longer be traveling on the President’s trip to Europe.Â

Thanks to the vaccine, I have only experienced mild symptoms. In alignment with White House COVID-19 protocols, I will work from home and plan to return to work in person at the conclusion of a five-day isolation period and a negative test.
